X-Machines for Agent-Based Modeling: FLAME Perspectives
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=
2435&package_id=20507
Note: Windows users are recommended to use the version 5.2.1 (available
at the above link).
4.1.3 Dotty as an Extra Installation
The parser creates diagrams about the function flow in the model. These
are created in an ‘.dot’ format. In order to view these files, download Graphviz
from www.graphviz.org. Grpahviz also allows the files to be converted into
other forms of images or formats like pdf.
4.2 Messaging Library: Libmboard
The Libmboard files help with parallelization of the models. These read
the messages during the simulation and create message boards, to efficiently
manage messages. Working on various platforms, versions of Libmboard have
been created to allow the execution either on Windows, Linux or MacOS
platforms.
For Windows: Download Libmboard for Windows. Unzip and place the
folder where the model is. This is an already precompiled version for Windows
platforms.
For Linux/Mac systems:
1. Download the latest version of Libmboard from ccpforge. Place this
anywhere, and point to it when running the simulation.
2. Go to the folder where Libmboard is to be placed. For example, in
‘Volumes’, use following command to make a directory for Libmboard:
> mkdir libmboard
3. Unzip and access the downloaded Libmboard folder.
>./configure --prefix =/Volumes/libmboard --disable tests
> make
Once successful, move to folder ‘Volumes/libmboard’
> make install
This will compile the Libmboard on the system.
