| [udig-devel] Re: [Repast-interest] Network how-to | 
Hi
We seem to be working on the same problem, we have developed a road 
charging model, for the recently announced extension to the UK's road 
charging scheme, together with several ANN models (Joone) for port 
capacity analysis, and associated IT sizing plus capacity models, using 
agents moving through the UK road network connected to a GIS, in this 
case uDIG. The uDig project is closely associated with GeoTools which 
is  a component of Repast.
Although the task sounds easy in practice various difficulties have to 
be overcome, In our case we embedded Repast into uDig and extended uDig 
with Repast's controls and plots, plus some extended recording devices, 
all fairly basic stuff given some Eclipse platform knowledge, the real 
difficulty came in the GIS display. The rendering mechanisms of GIS 
systems are chosen for memory / rendering accuracy tradeoffs, whereas 
simulation tradeoffs are frame rates etc. (simplified), we overcame this 
by extending uDigs "layer's" with "overlays", which though derived from 
uDigs layer code have a different Geotools rendering component optimized 
for simulation.
The rather large data streams generated by this simulation were 
controlled by a data stream management system see Stanford univ. Stream 
package and the PIPES stream processing package from

developed as a uDig plugin allowing the selection of interesting for 
display / analysis data by SQL statements.
It's our intention to return this code to the uDig and Repast projects 
but  like you we cannot find any place for Repast code, hope this points 
towards some possiblities to advance your project.

Having gone through the list archives I've found many people trying to 
do things that I'm trying to do. I was wondering if anyone may have 
code that does something similar -
I want to show agents (vehicles) moving through a transport (street) 
network that is ultimately connected to a GIS package. Easy enough as 
it sounds and with some Java experience I can't get this done.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Suneet
PS - Why do we not have code archives where people upload modules or 
examples developed. Or is there one and I have not found it
