GAMA 1.3 alpha1 is out!

The team behind the GAMA simulation platform, I use for simulated my models, as just released the first alpha version of GAMA 1.3. Although, only source code is available as it is an alpha only! More info on the GAMA google group.

In additon, the new Eclipse version has been released as well yesterday (GAMA is developed using this IDE).

Edit: We just discovered that GAMA 1.2 has been made available at Softpedia!

First review!

I have been an (unofficial) reviewer for the first time this week!

It is a paper for the AIMAS conference'10. I prefer not to tell what subject as review are anonymous (not even sure i should state the conference as I reviewed as a request from the original reviewer). Despite it was not my speciality I'm quite confident that the contribution of the paper is quite small and the quality of english is only acceptable.

Creation

As a first post on this blog i should state its origin. Indeed, it is quite short: i am a PhD candidate in agent-based modeling and i got the inspiration from gisagents.

I don't really know what i would focus on. Anyway, it will revolve around agent-based models, their use in epidemiology, epidemiological modeling in a more general way and probably some methodology on ABM especially communication of model ( especially the ODD protocol).
