About

A target agnostic translator for Agents Assembly. The translator can be tested live on Agents Assembly website. It is a part of the Agents Assembly ecosystem. Other applications are:

• Local Interface - GUI for simulation definition, management, and analysis.
• Simulation Run Environment - environment for running scalable agent-based simulations.
• Communication Server - cluster of servers used for XMPP communication.
• Local Development Environment - simple environment for running agent-based simulations.
