D-MASON: A Short Tutorial

D-Mason framework is a parallel version of the Mason library for writing and running Agent-based simulations. We briefly present Mason architecture, functionalities and some programming examples. Full documentation, additional tutorials and other material can be found at www.dmason.org where the framework can be downloaded.
