MetaABM: Model-Driven ABM Development
MetaABM has been superseded by the Agent Modeling Platform. All MetaABM features are available within the AMP Agent Modeling Framework. Please use AMP AMF and direct all questions about MetaABM to the AMP forums. The metaABM project is an Open Source (BSD) ABM meta-model and toolset providing:
  • Model representation using a neutral, natural and standards-based representation supported through the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF).
  • Model editing with elegant, visually-focused tools that don't require programming experience or complex configuration.
  • Modelling environment with tight integration within the Eclipse IDE toolset and tools for experienced programmers and modelers.
  • Model implementation automatically and transparently generated for Repast Simphony and Ascape with more to come.

metaABM defines and supports a high-level architecture for designing, executing and sytematically studying ABM models. metaABM started life as a component of the Repast Simphony system, "score", but its scope is beyond a single ABM tool. metaABM is not intended as an ABM engine or runtime environment, but as an approach that can leverage those environments in limitless ways. Beyond that, metaABM seeks to provide a common hub that enables developers of ABM tools to avoid duplication of effort and focus on the value that they can add to the overall software ecosystem. The contributors are committed to an open, developer-driven approach and welcome equal participation from other individuals, projects and organizations.
