This project is about researching dynamic networks that simulate a stochastic coevolutionary process. Phase 1: First version of the program was build in C++. We will port the original source code to Perl. (Done) Phase 2: Extend. (Done) We visualize and animate/render videos with Gephi: http://gephi.org/ We use Mersenne Twister for random number generation, so make sure you have Math::Random::MT::Perl installed: http://search.cpan.org/~fangly/Math-Random-MT-1.14/MT.pm Summary: Nodes can be linked to other nodes or networks and be part of a network. We can define an infinite number of states and a ruleset, that when we let the network evolve changes the network states or the links or even the nodes according to the rules of the ruleset. All changes are saved as part of a time series that can be exported as XML for further use and analysis in Gephi. To run a simulation the user has to define two things: (I) the initialization (start
