JAGS: A program for analysis of Bayesian graphical models using Gibbs sampling

JAGS is a program for Bayesian Graphical modelling which aims for compatibility with Classic BUGS. The program could eventually be developed as an R package. This article explains the motivations for this program, briefly describes the architecture and then discusses some ideas for a vectorized form of the BUGS language.
