Man, what's with the Yanks this year? Their collective ERA must be over 6... and everybody's hitting their weight. Argh!
Oh, and since parent is up to +5 now, more conference papers and presentations on Cougaar are here.
...this paper talks about using the open source, BSD-licensed agent framework COUGAAR to run FCS modeling tests.
Also, there's a bunch of COUGAAR support software written in Ruby, i.e., ACME.

Yup, looks like he's an "everything on its own line" kind of guy.
I'm not a fan of the "box o' stars" above the function declarations either, but to each his own...
Nice comment, too:

I'm working on a Ruby binding for it that will make the data easier to get at, too... good times.
