The Gridsweeper tool is an incredible resource for the complex systems community, allowing the distributed running and monitoring of batch, parametrized simulations with relative ease to the scientist. With bugs ironed out and the construction of an intuitive graphical interface, this project could greatly increase the productivity of research into artificial systems.

Equally useful would be the development of model-neutral analytic tools to again reduce the barrier of entry into complex systems analysis. Example functionality would include the ability to read data sets produced by batch parameterized runs of the simulation, and the ability to perform standard statistical analyses of such data using tools such as R.

Herein I propose to maintain the Gridsweeper code, ironing out bugs found; to develop at minimum two completed and documented tools for the analysis of computational models; and work towards the construction of a graphical interface for the Gridsweeper system.
