Acumen is currently being developed by Prof. Taha and the rest of the Effective Modeling research group.
Generous funding for Acumen's development is provided by:
Microsoft has an initiative on modeling the world discussed here and here.

Generous funding for Acumen's development is provided by:
- National Science Foundation (NSF) awards at Rice University
- The CERES Center at Halmstad University
We have recently moved development to GIThub. If you are a member of the development group, you can view bug status reports and report bugs online. We expect that the next release (2012) will be delivered using GIThub.
Before that, Google Code for bug tracking and as a wiki for development. You can find the Acumen Google code project web page here.

Challenge problems for things to model in Acumen can be found in many domains, including
- Competitive and Cooperative Systems (others sources), see also workshops and conferences such as CoopMAS.
- Complex markets
- Geosimulation
- Networks
- Neural Networks
- Cooking
- Walking
- Aerodynamics
- Robotics society's page on robot arms
- NAO (company and videos)
- Solarbotics robot components
