MUTANT: a multiagent toolkit for artificial life simulation

Nowadays many artificial life research areas resort to agent-based simulation. This fact has brought us to design a powerful generic platform that would allow scientists in those fields of research to easily build simulation environment. This platform called MUTANT includes a model of self-adaptive agent with genetic evolving capabilities as learning mechanisms. The platform also includes a powerful graphical user interface providing many tools for both modeling and simulation. There are tools for agents design behavior´s programming environment´s description and observation of running simulations. MUTANT is being developed in Java with the aim of being directly usable throughout the Internet
