======I-700-ABMS, Agent-Based Modeling & Simluation, 2007-1======

====Psyclone Mini-Project====
**Assigned:** January 11\\
**Due:** January 16

==Project Goal==
The student should learn the basics of the Psyclone simulation environment and be able to: 
  * Run Psyclone from the command line
    * with the psySpec
    * with external java modules
    * with 2 or more external modules on 2 computers
    * using psySpec and Psyclone Satellite for automatic startup of external modules
  * Understand 
    * message-based APIs/module interaction
    * contexts and phases
    * whiteboards
    * module parameters
  * Use 
    * psyProbe Web-based monitoring tool
    * Java-based interaction tool

==Project Description==
  * Get a login on the Gola computer cluster.
  * Log into the Psyclone directory.
  * Start by reading the QUICKSTART.txt file
  * The Psyclone manual/tutorial in the html directory (index.html) provides detail
  * Go through these use cases:
    * External modules
    * Multiple computers
  * Modify the dominosPsySpec.xml to use different contexts and phases
  * Write a simple external Psyclone module that subscribes to your own message type and changes contexts in the dominosPsySpec example
