MASON Library
Multi-AgentSimulationOfNeighborhoods or Networks (MASON) is a Java-based multi-agent simulation library that has a generic API library in order to easily simulate SI algorithms in particular and any general algorithm that explores the search space with the use of independent agents in general. This library is created by George Mason at the University's Center for Social Complexity and Department of Computer Science. It provides a fast and portable core written in Java programming language and is supported by visualization framework for hypothesis testing and visualization. It is a handy framework for modeling new architectures and algorithms. The design goals for the MASON library are:
- Provide a large number of simulations and configurable experiments. The library is very easy to extend for additional simulations and use cases.
- High Degree of modularity and flexibility—the framework is built as a layered architecture and it deploys object oriented fundamentals for keeping the...
