Welcome to MASON, a simulator designed for simple-multiagent simulations, or
to be used as a core library inside more sophisticated multiagent simulators.

MASON was written by Sean Luke, Gabriel Catalin Balan, and Liviu Panait. 
Additional code and apps were written by Daniel Kubrich and Sean Paus.  Much
help was provided by Claudio Cioffi-Revilla and Ken De Jong.

MASON is a joint effort of George Mason University's Evolutionary Computation
Laboratory (in the Computer Science Department), and GMU's Center for
Social Complexity.
