Wow, its always a little nerve-racking to see something like this
because you wonder if you've been wasting your time. ;) OTOH, it is
exciting and somewhat of a relief to see that the ideas are not
completely out to lunch! Parallel evolution in action.
There seems to be some strong theoretical/foundational work which
could be extremely helpful. Naturally there are some sharp technical/
implementation differences and I'm not sure what the license is...
apparently one has to get an email approval back for access. A Windows
front-end as Bill mentions -- not sure I'm ready to load BootCamp..
OTOH if it is mostly low-level c it might not be too hard to port.
In any case, one of the really cool aspects of meta modeling is that
meta-models can be derived from one another very easily -- at least
relative to deriving code from another implementation! For example, I
must say that I think the UI aspects of metaABM are very strong, but
OTOH if this tool already has useful targets for clusters one could
actually generate code for FLAME from a metaABM representation and get
access to that for 'free'. One could also go the other way, though
part of that would be hard to automate as there does appear to be
explicit C code in the xml representation which one would need to parse.

Group,
It is similar to MetaABM. Looks like the system is built to run on
conventional parallel architecture i.e, cluster based computing.
They will have problems with scalability. We can perhaps take the
front end and stick it on to a GPU engine.

Hi group,
Has anyone had any experience with Flame http://www.flame.ac.uk/ ?
I'm a bit familiar with the Epitheliome project, which seems to be
its precursor. It looks very interesting, and seems like it might
be similar to MetaABM. Its also interesting that it looks like it
can run on parallel machines. Any comments would be appreciated.
