Major redesign of SDG wiki

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. If you find bad links, mistakes, etc., please just send email to <swarm at swarm.org>

SwarmFest 2006 preliminary announcement

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 archive of previous SwarmFests.

Agent- and Individual-based Modeling Resources

• Resources for agent-based modeling. This is a new area of the wiki for information on agent-based modeling in general. There are sub-areas for:
  • Agent-based modeling community resources
  • Software (information on alternative platforms; learning materials)
  • "How and why to do agent-based modeling": techniques and theory
  • Resources specific to different scientific domains

• modelling@swarm.org: The email community of agent-based modelers. This email list discusses topics of general interest to agent-based modelers. More information and signup here.

Swarm

• The main Swarm page for Swarm software, documentation, and applications

• Description and fixes for a bug in the getMin and getMax method of Swarm's Averager class

• Thanks to Paul Johnson, a new package of applications for Swarm-2.2, particularly for Objective C

• Download site moved: The download site for Swarm software, examples, documentation, etc. has been moved from ftp :// ftp.swarm.org to http://ftp.swarm.org. Please send an email to support@swarm.org if you find any links needing updating.

• Email lists for support and modeling
