Download/HomepageI remember so long ago of a software program that would help
users make decisions. I don't recall the name of the application but I do
remember that you could input figures, ideas and such and the program would then
simulate different results according to the inputted information. It was kind of
like a think tank of software.
Times have changed a great deal since then and so has the software in AI.
EconSim is an economics simulation program based on the object oriented approach
and can be extended in Java. That means you can write your own firms, banks,
scenarios, etc and then load them and have them interact. You use EconSim with
extendable EconScripts; Java files that implement the firms, banks, consumers,
etc. which compile to *. class files so you can see how extendable EconSim can
soon become (provided you have that type of expertise in Java) since the Java
files are written outside the application in itself.
EconSim uses Java thus allowing you to extend its usefulness and add your own
code. The code is loaded automatically by an extension of the EconScript. For
example; you can animate on screen the flow of information, goods and services
around (a subset of) a simulated economy. The program will then call from
Supplier-Customer, etc and breaks it down. This allows an animation between
Supplier and Customer to be shown on screen.
There may be many ways to use EconSim or many different behaviors you want to
reproduce. As the type of program this is (Economics Simulator) you may find
many ways to benefit from it. This version of the program is free to use until
June of 2005 so take it for this extended drive and see what it can, and will do
for you.
