I would like to know what kind of toolkits, languages, libraries exist for agent-based modeling and what are the pros/cons of them?

Some examples of what I am thinking of are
Swarm, Repast, and MASS.

    I found a survey from June 2009 that answer your question:

    Survey of Agent Based Modelling and Simulation Tools

    Au. R.J. Allan

    Abstract
    Agent Based Modelling and Simulation is a computationally
    demanding technique based on discrete event simulation and having its
    origins in genetic algorithms. It is a powerful technique for
    simulating dynamic complex systems and observing “emergent” behaviour.
    The most common uses of ABMS are in social simulation and optimisation
    problems, such as traffic flow and supply chains. We will investigate
    other uses in computational science and engineering. ABMS has been
    adapted to run on novel architectures such as GPGPU (e.g. nVidia using
    CUDA). Argonne National Laboratory have a Web site on Exascale ABMS
    and have run models on the IBM BlueGene with funding from the SciDAC
    Programme. We plan to organise a workshop on ABMS methodolgies and
    applications in summer of 2009. Keywords agent based modelling,
