Repast is one of the leading software packages for agent-based simulation. It provides useful classes for building and controlling simulations and users can run their models using a graphic display or in batch mode. These functions are fairly straight-forward if you want to build a stand-alone Repast simulation but what if you want to integrate Repast within a larger modelling system? This tutorial will explain the problem and show a solution influenced by design patterns.
