A tutorial introduction to Swarm: Swarm as a platform for agent-based modeling

Object-oriented

Objects have attributes
- Data
  - a type
    
    e.g., a shape: triangle, square, trapezium
  - variables
    
    e.g., size of the shape
- Behaviors
  - Behavior is a function of type
Types can form a taxonomy
