The Repast Organization for Architecture and Design (ROAD) is pleased to
announce the release of Repast Simphony 1.0! We thank the Repast core
developers, contributing developers, and supporters for the hard work that made
this release possible!

As many know, Repast Simphony is a free and open source agent-based modeling
toolkit that offers users a rich variety of features including the following:

1.) An optional point-and-click model development environment that generates
Java classes and seamlessly integrates with hand written Java and Groovy
components.
2.) A pure Java point-and-click model execution environment that includes
built-in results logging and graphing tools as well as automated connections to
a variety of optional external tools including R, VisAD, Weka, popular
spreadsheets, MATLAB, and iReport.
3.) An extremely flexible hierarchically nested definition of space including
the ability to do point-and-click and modeling and visualization of 2D
environments, 3D environments, networks including full integration with the JUNG
network modeling library, and geographical spaces including full Geographical
Information Systems (GIS) support.
4.) A range of data storage "freeze dryers" for model check pointing and
restoration including text file and database storage.
5.) A fully concurrent multithreaded discrete event scheduler. 
6.) Libraries for genetic algorithms, neural networks, regression, random number
generation, and specialized mathematics. 
7.) Automated Monte Carlo simulation framework which supports multiple modes of
model results optimization. 
8.) Built-in tools for integrating external models. 
9.) Full object-orientation.
10.) A point-and-click model deployment system.
11.) Availability on virtually all modern computing platforms including Windows,
Mac OS, and Linux.
