 	<h1>Agent Modeling Platform</h1>
 	  <p>The AMP project provides extensible frameworks and exemplary tools for representing, editing, generating, executing and visualizing agent models. AMP is made up of the following components:</p>
 <div id="amf" class="homeitem">
 <h4>Agent Modeling Framework (AMF)</h4>
 	<p>AMF is an Agent-Based Model Meta-Model representation, editor, generator and development environment.
 	The AMF Acore meta-model is similar to EMF Ecore (and is itself an Ecore model) but provides high-level support for agents, including spatial, behavioral and functional features -- it's focused on ABM but could be useful in many other domains.
 	AMF provides code-generation for complete executable models in a pluggable way and can support arbitrary target platforms. Targets for Java Skeletons and Interfaces, JUnit test cases, Escape models and documentation are included. Targets for other platforms will be provided separately.
 </p>
 </div>
 <div id="axf" class="homeitem">
 <h4>Agent Execution Framework (AXF)</h4>
 <p>The execution framework provides core interfaces, services and UI for model life-cycle execution,
 agent aggregation, view and control management, and integration with the Eclipse workbench. AXF is not
 itself intended to provide extensive support for runtime execution, but instead acts as an abstraction layer between the Eclipse environment and
 client toolkits. For example, implementations would provide model internal
 scheduling engines and data collection facilities which are wired up at runtime through adapters.
 While there are no dependencies between AMF and AXF, AXF does provide corresponding features where
 appropriate. As with AMF, AXF is not limited to ABM. Anyone who has a need for
 executing, managing and visualizing Workbench hosted processes containing collections of interacting
 objects may find it useful.</p>
 </div>
 <div id="agf" class="homeitem">
 <h3>Agent Graphics and Visualization Framework (AGF)</h3>
 	<p>The graphics framework extends GEF, Draw2D, Zest and other technologies to support real-time
 visualization of and interaction with agent models. Currently, AGF provides support for agents
 within 2D space and graph structures. Like the other AMP components, AGF design focus is to provide
 an extensible infrastructure, allowing platform adopters to easily create their own view and editor
 parts.</p>
 <p>AGF will include two sub-components:
 <ul>
 	<li>AGF-Chart: A dynamic charting facility with end-user oriented interactive tools. An
 	envisioned extension would connect to a new AXF Data (ADF) component, which would provide a dynamic
 	data service based around DTP.</li>
 	<li>AGF-Viz: Support for graph and -- eventually -- other dense information dynamic
 	visualization such as nD.</li>
 </ul>
 </p>

 		</div>

 	<div class="sideitem">
 		<h6>What's an Agent-Based Model?</h6>
 		<p>The primary focus of AMP is "Agent-Based Modeling". ABMs share characteristics with object models, but are:
 <ul>
 	<li>Spatial: Models have explicit environment(s) in which agents interact. (An environment
 	need not be a physical landscape; other examples of spatial relationships include social networks
 	or positions within a logic system.)</li>
 	<li>Temporal: Models change over discrete units of time.</li>
 	<li>Autonomous: Agent behaviors are activated independently from other object requests.</li>
 	<li>Heterogenous: Agents may share behavior definitions but have apparent and distinct states
 	and behaviors.</li>
 	<li>Collective: Models contain large communities of agents which exhibit collaborative and
 	competitive behaviors.</li>
 	<li>Emergent: Agents have collective macro-behaviors that are non-obvious from agent
 	micro-specifications.</li>
 </ul></small></p>
