JAgents project is a Game theoretic Evolutionary Network Traffic Simulator.

JAgents (A Game theoretic Evolutionary Network Traffic Simulator) is a tool for simulating dynamics of selfish users in traffic networks like the Internet.

Classical Game Theory has been extensively used to analyze the Internet. However, this analysis is limited to static properties of such models, e.g., equilibria, the price of anarchy, etc. Methods from Evolutionary Game Theory allow for analysis of dynamical properties.

The behavior of agents is simulated by continuous or discrete processes, the best-known of which is the so-called replicator dynamics.

JAgents can simulate a variety of these dynamics for arbitrary networks.

Here are some key features of "JAgents":
model networks and latency functions,
find numerical solutions to these dynamics using the Runge-Kutta method,
plot various time dependent data, like potential functions, e.g. the well known Rosenthal function, etc.
numerically find equilibria,
export and import graphs as xml documents (GraphML),
export gnuplot,
and more.
