RE: [Swarm-Support] Swarm Vs Repast

[Ivan Lazarevic]

Well, I can tell you I moved from Swarm to Repast for two reasons. Firstly,
Repast works perfectly on Windows platforms, which can't really be said for
Swarm, and secondly, the complete source code is written in Java.

On the other hand, moving was easy, since Repast shares the same modelling
paradigm. There are even Swarm samples like the heatbugs and mousetrap which
were converted into Repast. I'd say the conversion is one-to-one, it really
really looks very similar to Swarm. I had no trouble understanding it, after
a day of reading the docs.

Subject: [Swarm-Support] Swarm Vs Repast


Ok; I was working on swarm last year, the project went
fine and now my poeple wanted to extend it. My prof.
was referring Repast to me besides Swarm.
So does repast provides a better API than swarm or do
I continue with swarm. Also can I club both the API, I
dont think so I could do this.
If I switch to repast, will that be easy for me to
convert my swarm code to repast.
I would love to stick with swarm as I am familiar with
this. Any one use repast.
Could you guys let me know your ideas with swarm and
repast.

Thanks,
Suman K
