[FRIAM] Fwd: ABM

[Douglas Roberts]

FRIAMers,

I received this today from several of my co-workers and thought I'd pass it
on.

I still can't help but feeling that in general, *way* too many words are
being used to describe ABM (and IBM) methodologies.  The underlying concept
of object-oriented software design as the basis for ABM simulation
architecture is just so straight forward and intuitive that I am repeatedly
amazed at how people continue to make such a big, mysterious deal out of it.

But, I suppose that's just me, and my opinion...
