I am trying to integrate RePast Simphony with Processing to build some legal simulations that would be useful pedagogical tools for law students and non-lawyers. These would be sandbox-like simulations of interaction between actors (people, corporations or other autonomous entities) and legal processes (legislation, law enforcement, regulatory entities, or other legal frameworks). A very simple [...]

During the last week I have been reviewing all the material I can find on modeling legal process using various simulation tools. There are a small handful of articles on using agents to simulate legal proceses, but none directly on point to my thesis. In addition, I have also been working in RePast Simphony and moving [...]

I had a call today with Dr. Michael North of the Argonne National Laboratory. Dr. North (Mike) is the lead developer of Repast Simphony and the Deputy Directory of the Center for Complex Adaptive Agent Systems Simulation. Dr. North was amazingly supportive and helpful with the initial questions and issues I have for my thesis. He has [...]
