Abstract
Social simulation is a recently founded research area in which there are not that many tools. Net Logo, one popular representative tool is a modeling and simulation environment that provides a basic infrastructure for programming agent based simulations. Net Logo and other tools incur in the same problem that is sometimes agent characteristics and model features are defined together originating a deep impact on models maintenance. Aiming to study some characteristics in isolation from the rest of the simulation and simplifying social simulations implementation using agents this work questions some characteristics of tools for assisting Social Simulation.
