Gildas Morvan, LGI2A - Similar2Logo

Similar2Logo is a Logo-like multiagent-based simulation environment based on the Similar API and released under the CeCILL-B license.

Similar2Logo is written in Java. The GUI is based on web technologies (HTML5/CSS/js). Simulations can be developed in Java, Groovy, Ruby or any JVM language.

The purpose of Similar2Logo is not to offer a fully integrated agent-based modeling environment such as NetLogo, Gama, TurtleKit or Repast but to explore the potential of

the influences/reaction model, developed by the SMILE team of LIRMM lab at Université de Montpellier,
the interaction-oriented modeling approach developed by the SMAC team of CRISTAL lab at Université de Lille,
the multi-level agent-based modeling,
web technologies to produce portable simulations.

To understand the philosophy of Similar2Logo, it might be interesting to first look at the Similar documentation and read the papers about the influences/reaction model, the IRM4S (Influence/Reaction Principle for Multi-Agent Based Simulation) model and the interaction-oriented modeling approach.

A Similar2Logo simulation of the prey-predator model is available on the cloud.
