The '''Recursive Porous Agent Simulation Toolkit''' ('''Repast''') is ana widely used free and open-source, cross-platform, agent-based modeling and simulation toolkit. Repast has multiple implementations in several languages {{Harv|North|Collier|Vos|2006}} and built-in adaptive features, such as [[genetic algorithmsalgorithm]]s and regression.

The Recursive Porous Agent Simulation Toolkit (Repast) is an agent-based modeling toolkit. Repast has multiple implementations in several languages and built-in adaptive features such as genetic algorithms and regression.

Repast is free and open source. It was originally developed by David Sallach, Nick Collier, Tom Howe, Michael North and others at the [[University of Chicago]].
