The download site for Swarm software, examples, documentation, etc. has been moved from ftp :// ftp.swarm.org to http://ftp.swarm.org. Links within this wiki have been updated; please update any links on your own sites. The ftp site will be removed soon. If you find any remaining links to the old ftp site, please send an email to support@swarm.org.

This wiki is undergoing a major renovation to better reflect Swarm Development Group's overall mission of supporting agent-based modeling in general, as well as maintaining Swarm. This home page now has separate boxes for news, ABM resources, Swarm, and SDG. With your help, we will be building up the ABM resources to become a home for all agent-based modelers, no matter what platform they use.

SwarmFest is our annual conference of agent-based modelers and Swarm users. 2006 will be the 10th SwarmFest! We are very happy to announce that it will be hosted by Notre Dame University, in conjunction with the North American Computational Social and Organization Science conference, sometime around June 21-25. We will have a SwarmFest page up soon. Meanwhile, visit the [[Swarm:_SwarmFest|archive of previous SwarmFests]].

==Agent- and Individual-based Modeling Resources==
A bug in the <tt>getMin</tt> and <tt>getMax</tt> method of Swarm's <tt>Averager</tt> class was recently discovered. A description and fixes are on the [[Swarm: stable release#Known_bugs_and_fixes|stable release]] page.

Thanks to [[User:Pauljohn|Paul Johnson]] there is a new package of applications for Swarm-2.2, particularly for Objective C. For more details see the [[Swarm: applications|applications]] page.

===Swarm 2.2: Our new stable release===
 
{{posted|08:12, 10 Feb 2005}}
 
  
Swarm Development Group announces the release of Swarm 2.2 as the new stable release. The  many development snapshots have been consolidated into a single set of code for all the available platforms. Thanks to Marcus Daniels for preparing the release, and all of you who have helped develop and test snapshots on various platforms.

==Swarm Software==
  
* Source code, plus binaries for Windows, Fedora, and Mac OS X are available at the [[Swarm:_stable_release| stable release page]].
+
*'''[[Swarm_software|The main Swarm software page]]'''
* See the [[Swarm:_documentation| documentation page]] for the Swarm 2.2 documentation set.
+
* Example applications are being updated and maintained by Paul Johnson. These currently include well-known models such as heatbugs, mousetrap, the Swarm tutorial, arborgames, schelling2, and Conway's game of life. These are currently on the CVS site at Swarm's development home at Savannah: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/swarm/
+
  
Not all aspects of the release are completely settled down and we expect some minor changes in how it is distributed for specific platforms. Here is what you can do:
+
*''[[Swarm: stable release#Known_bugs_and_fixes|Description and fixes for a bug in the <tt>getMin</tt> and <tt>getMax</tt> method of Swarm's <tt>Averager</tt> class]]''
  
* If you identify problems, post them to the [[Swarm:_Mailing_lists| Swarm support email list]], and (better yet) try to find solutions and post those, too.
+
*''[[Swarm: applications|Thanks to Paul Johnson, a new package of applications for Swarm-2.2, particularly for Objective C]]''
* If you develop binary distributions for new platforms, etc., post them and an announcement on this wiki. (We encourage users to add things to this site! It's easy.)
+
* Buy an SDG membership so maintenance and development of Swarm can continue.
