The AMF meta-model started life as "score", a component of the Repast Simphony environment. Argonne National Labs supported the initial development in 2007 and agreed to contribute the relevant IP to the Eclipse project in 2009. It wasn't fully utilized within Simphony, and migrated from there to the MetaABM project supported by Metascape. The MetaABM project defined a complete editor, code-generation and model execution suite that formed the initial AMP AMF contribution. Metascape has sponsored the development of AMF from 2007 through the present.
