PlatBox Project
PlatBox Project, formally known as Boxed Economy Project, is a multi-agent based computer simulation software development project founded by Iba Laboratory at Keio University, Japan. The main work of PlatBox Project is to develop PlatBox Simulator and Component Builder, which are claimed to be the first multi-agent computer simulation software that do not require end-users to have any computer programming skill in order to create and execute multi-agent computer simulation models. Currently, the project is organized by Takashi Iba, assistant professor from Keio University, and Nozomu Aoyama. PlatBox Simulator and Component Builder are currently offered only in Japanese; however, the English version is expected to be out anytime soon. PlatBox Simulator PlatBox Simulator is a multi-agent based simulation platform developed by PlatBox Project. ComponentBuilder ComponentBuilder is a multi-agent based simulation modeling tool developed by PlatBox Project.
