Since the author is new to EM, this article is aimed at other newcomers and will attempt to give them an insight into the capabilities of EM. This includes Eden, Scout and Donald.
As well as the case study a comparison will be made between an EM implementation and an implementation in an object oriented language such as Java. Through this the author hopes to provide insight into the strengths of agent oriented programming over object-oriented programming.
Possible future directions of the project will also
be looked at. Perhaps including the model as part
of a larger model, adding a 3D interface to the
model and so on
