Credits

FiatLux was developped by Nazim Fatès from 2001 to 2008 in the following institutions :
  • 2007- 2008 : LORIA - INRIA Nancy Grand-Est
  • 2006 : LORIA - Univ. Nancy
  • 2002 - 2005 : LIP - ENS Lyon

The author is grateful for the contributions of Antoine Spicher for the coding for the LGCA models and to Alexandre Bryskowski for his internship on the Graphical User Interface.

For random number generation, FiatLux uses the Ranmar library of Honeyclust. For the live plotting functionallities, FiatLux uses the Ptolemy library developped and maintained by Univ. of Berkley.
