The '''Recursive Porous Agent Simulation Toolkit''' ('''Repast''') is a 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 algorithm]]s and regression.

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

Line 6:

==Features==

* variety of [[Software agent|agents]] and examples

* fully [[Object-oriented programming|object oriented]]

* fully concurrent discrete event scheduler

* built-in simulation results logging and graphing tools {{Harv|North|Tatara|Collier|Ozik|2007}}

* allows users to dynamically access and modify agents and model at run time

* libraries for [[genetic algorithms]], [[Artificial neural network|neural networks]], etc.

* built-in systems dynamics modeling

* [[social network]] modeling tools

Line 17:

* supports Java, C#, [[Managed C++]], Visual Basic.Net, Managed Lisp, [[Managed Prolog]], and [[Python script]]ing, etc.

* is available on virtually all modern computing platforms

==Malware==

Relapse releases, upon uninstall, install several adware without consent, one of which will not list in the Windows 'Programs and Features,' making users to track the process or use an anti-malware software to remove.
