# Symu
[![alt text](https://symu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest"Symu documentation")](http://docs.symu.org)

Symu is a C# opensource framework for organization simulation.
``Symu`` is a C# opensource framework for organization simulation.
You can develop your own application to run virtual experiments with organizations and capture their dynamic behaviors, their evolutions.<br>
Symu targets agnostic organizations as social groups and does not plan to implement functionality for specific types of organizations.<br>

## How it works

Symu models groups and organizations as complex systems and captures the variability in human, technological and organizational factors through heterogeneity in information processing capabilities, knowledge and resources.<br>
``Symu`` models groups and organizations as complex systems and captures the variability in human, technological and organizational factors through heterogeneity in information processing capabilities, knowledge and resources.<br>
The non-linearity of the model generates complex temporal behavior due to dynamic relationships among agents.

## What it is

Symu, is a multi-agent system, time based with discrete events, for the co-evolution of agents and socio-cultural environments.
``Symu`` is a multi-agent system, time based with discrete events, for the co-evolution of agents and socio-cultural environments.
Agents are decision-making units and can represent various levels of analysis such as individuals, groups or organizations.<br>
Agents are autonomous, rationally bounded and tasks based.<br>
They interact simultaneously in a shared environment that interacts in turn with the agents, via asynchronous messages.

### Academic program

Symu is based on a library of theoretical models:
``Symu`` is based on a library of theoretical models:
organization theory, social networks, socio-cultural environment, information diffusion, socio-technical environment…

With our academic program, we will first implement models that you want to use for you.

## Getting Started
The main project is [SymuEngine](https://github.com/lmorisse/Symu/tree/master/Symu%20source%20code/SymuEngine). This is the framework you'll use to build your own application in batch or GUI mode.
