The focus today was on simulation tools and packages. Eric gave us some details of the freely downloadable Repast system (http://repast.sourceforge.net/), and ran through some of the demonstration models. Joe did the same for the commercial discrete-event modelling package Simul8 (http://www.simul8.com/). Both packages seemed to have a lot to offer, particularly in terms of visualization.
