Re: repast / swarm

Both are agent-based simulation toolkits.  I'm not sure which category  
that fits under but in general they are discrete-time (or discrete- 
event) simulators, typically stochastic.  Agent-based is more a  
modeling methodology versus a simulation technology.

The recent issue of Nature has a couple commentaries on using agent- 
based modeling for economics and epidemiology.  Here is an article by  
my surgeon colleague about using agent-based for modeling acute  
inflammation.
