extraordinary tools...for real-world development

It doesn't matter what a "meta-model" is -- what can it do? Our unique software provides a high-level architecture for models of real world systems. With it, you can do extraordinary things:
  • Represent models in a neutral, natural, and standards-based (EMF) way.
  • Design models with elegant, visually-focused tools that don't require programming experience or complex configuration.
  • Leverage Eclipse with an open and extensible architecture.
  • Implement models automatically and transparently anywhere imaginable, including popular ABM engines and high performance systems.

extraordinary science...for real-world problems

Models are powerful. Why stop at modeling software systems? What if your CRM could model customer decision making processes? What if your accounting system could anticipate future unexpected risks and opportunities? This is exactly what our extraordinary approach can do. These are just some of the domains we've modeled:
  • National Policy for Teen Pregnancy
  • Global Financial Risk
  • Intelligence Collection and Analysis
  • Supply Chains and Logistics

MetaABM 1.3 Released
MetaABM 1.3 is now available. There are a number of quality and ease-of-use improvements. For example, we've made the icons consistent with Eclipse Look & Feel. But most importantly, the install process is a total breeze! For a brief installation tour, please see:

MetaABM Installation Screencast

This is likely to be the last major release of MetaABM before we transition to the AMP Agent Modeling Framework (AMF), but all MetaABM models will be future-proof. Model converters will allow seamless conversion to AMF "acore" models.
