X-Machines for Agent-Based Modeling: FLAME Perspectives
FIGURE 4.1: Block diagram of the Xparser, the FLAME simulation component. Blocks in blue are files automatically generated. The green blocks are
modeler’s files.
• 0.xml - This contains initial states of memory variables of agents, initialization of all memory parameters.
The number of the resulting XML files depends on number of iterations
specified in the model run (through Main.exe).Figure 4.1 shows which parts
of the model are written by modelers and which are the code produced by
Xparser. Figure 4.2 shows how the software blocks exists and interact with
the input files in the block diagram.
4.1 Setting Up FLAME
FLAME executes on Windows, MacOS and Linux operating systems. The
list of files required:
• Latest version of the framework (Xparser)
• C compiler such as the GNU compiler
• Libmboard files for parallelization tailored for all windows, macos and
linux users.
