RinSim: v3.0.0

RinSim is a logistics simulator written in Java. RinSim supports (de)centralized algorithms for dynamic pickup-and-delivery problems (PDP). The simulator is developed at the iMinds-DistriNet group at the dept. of Computer Science, KU Leuven, Belgium.

In version 3.0.0, RinSim is restructured in a total of 14 modules:

• Central
• CLI
• Core
• Event
• Examples
• Experiment
• FSM
• Geometry
• IO
• PDPTW
• Scenario
• Scenario Utils
• Test Utils
• UI

Starting with the current version RinSim targets Java 7 and uses semantic versioning, all minor releases will be continuously checked to make sure they are backwards compatible to the major release. Also, RinSim is now officially released under the Apache License, Version 2.0, a license header is added to every source file.
