The applet requires Java 1.4.1 or higher. It will not run on Windows 95 or Mac OS 8 or 9. Mac users must have OS X 10.2.6 or higher and use a browser that supports Java 1.4. (Safari works, IE does not. Mac OS X comes with Safari. Open Safari and set it as your default web browser under Safari/Preferences/General.) On other operating systems, you may obtain the latest Java plugin from Sun's Java site.
This model generates sample behavioral data for the BIK project based on inputs in the text files locations.txt, occupations.txt, people.txt and goods.txt. A terrorist can be hidden in the model and will eventually attack when their countdown reaches zero. The resulting data, displayed in the output window, should permit researchers to identify the terrorist based on their low-probability actions in collecting the resources they need to attack. This is meant to demonstrate that even without knowing the identity of the terrorist, it is still possible to find them based solely upon their actions.
Click "Setup", then "Create Terrorist" and then "Go". The agents will not do anything because they will be in bed, but in a moment they will wake up and begin creating data.
Change the starting random seed to get different results.
