Re: [FRIAM] github pages...
Just to add to the narrative one thing I've found potentially nice about gitpages is that with some file or folder-jitsu I can get a back up. I'm always a little woried my wordpress projects (for instance) could go poof, or something else goes wrong. While I'm no Git expert by anymeens it does look to track changes. So if something does go wrong someone might be able to undue it and that's always a good thing. While setting up an acount on git as my other one looks to have gone poot I found some Content Managers others might like for one reason or another. As it's a hobby side to web-making I didn't dig all that deep or get into technical pro's and cons: Kirby: http://getkirby.com/ PencilBlue: NodeJS goodness- I've played with it some on redhats OpenShift (not open Blip) and finally:Pulse http://www.pulsecms.com/ FWIW Kirby's Devs did a Q'nA on Stackverflow earlier this year it might go creativecommons such that someone for personal project type use could use it free but for professional comercialy kind of use, you'd have to pay for a license. I have no idea what all the status of that is.

Re: [FRIAM] github pages...
Hi Pietro, great to hear from you. Lets try to get together next time I travel to Italy. I generally stay in Camerano, near Ancona, but often spend time in Venice with Fabio or lately in Padova .. so we'd not be that far apart via train. SLAPP is quite nice. I wonder if you would be interested in a NetLogo inspired JavaScript ABM framework: http://agentscript.org. I need help thinking about its future. I'm taking a break from it for a while, diving into a webgl mooc given by Ed Angel based on material from the latest edition, 7, of his Interactive Computer Graphics text .. all using webgl. Here's the url of the mooc if you'd like to follow along: https://www.coursera.org/course/webgl A major goal for a few of us is how to move ABM to 3D. We spoke with Uri and Seth at NetLogo and they hadn't enough time to really research how to best use 3D.

Re: [FRIAM] github pages...
Hi Owen, we've done some work using Processing to do 3D visualization in NetLogo -- both by opening an Processing window from a running NetLogo model and by running NetLogo headless from a Processing program (and doing real-time visualization of the running model). Of course, NetLogo uses Processing for some of its built-in 3D visualization, but the version is somewhat old and I don't think Uri et al have put much effort into the 3D side of things recently, so our approach gives a bit more flexibility. I'm happy to share the paper we put together on it if you or anyone else is interested. The question of what a 3D ABM is actually useful for is surprisingly more challenging. We put together a simple dynamic network model and used the 3D to visualize the connections between and movement of the nodes from one state to another (of 3 possible states), so we had something like a sandwich of dots with lines that we could rotate around and zoom in on. It was something that made it a bit easier to understand what was going on in the model and between the nodes -- more a reporting mechanism than an inherent part of the model. Well, that, plus it looked cooler. Using 3D as an inherent part of the model's behavior is another thing entirely. In that case, the model would require the physical 3 dimensional location of each agent (and the environment) to be critical to the behavior of the agents -- and something that couldn't be easily represented in 2D with the 3rd dimension handled separately. We started to look at using animation software, such as Maya, to do the modeling, but didn't make much progress before our animator moved on. Maya or 3DS Max allow for Python programming, but it isn't exactly ideal for ABM work.

Re: [FRIAM] github pages...
Brent: way WAY astute observations and info, thanks 10^6! How's this for an idea: follow Ed's Mooc. No need to do the homework etc, just to get informed as to webgl's core capabilities. It's just started and the videos are there for the watching and a standard vocabulary. The GPU is a standard worth knowing. Then we can (a group of us here interested in the topic .. hopefully Pietro who has a LOT of ABM experience .. as does a lot of Italy) put together some ideas for 3D ABM. Certainly Uri and Seth were interested in it, but didn't have time to do the research. Thus they use 2.5 D pop-out for standard NetLogo .. way nice .. and agree that beyond their cube patches, they hadn't time for enough research into the matter. ABM is basically data all the way down with dynamic interaction within the data. 3D fits into this, I think. Maybe we should just think of models that could use 3D? RedFish has a few fascinating ideas in the works like point-clouds as computation.

Bullet Physics is a nice way to represent an environment and to represent the agents. Physical interaction between agents and/or static objects is directly reported.
