Athena is a simulation application written in TCL/TK; it models the actions of political, economic, and military actors in a war-torn region, and the effects of those actions on the local civilians. It was developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory by [WHD] (among others) and has now been open sourced under a BSD license. [http://github.com/AthenaModel] In addition to the simulation code proper, the project includes a considerable amount of infrastructure code, much of which has been presented by [WHD] at the Tcl Conference over the years. See especially the "marsutil" and "marsgui" packages in the http://github.com/AthenaModel/mars%|%mars%|% repository. <>Enter Category Here
