Vahana.jl - A framework for large-scale agent-based models
Steffen Fürst
Vahana.jl is a new open-source high-performance software framework for development of large-scale agent-based models (ABM) of complex social systems.
Vahana models are expressed as synchronous graphic dynamical systems (SyGDS). This allows Vahana to run a simulation in parallel and to distribute the simulation across multiple nodes of a cluster. New extensions to the traditional SyGDS approach allow the implementation of complex ABMs.
