Welcome to the Swarm Development Group Wiki!

A resource for agent- and individual-based modelers and the home of Swarm

The SwarmWiki is hosted by the Center for the Study of Complex Systems at the University of Michigan.

Call for Papers: Agent-Directed Simulation (ADS'07) Symposium

A call for papers has just been issued for: Agent-Directed Simulation Symposium (ADS'07), part of the 2007 Spring Simulation Multiconference (SpringSim'07), sponsored by The Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS). The meeting will be March 25- 29, 2007, Norfolk, VA, USA. The call for papers and information is at: http://www.eng.auburn.edu/SCS-TM/ADS-2007.htm

SwarmFest 2006 followup

SwarmFest was hosted by University of Notre Dame, June 23-24. Thanks to our host Greg Madey, we will soon be posting pictures from the conference. Thank you to all the presenters, moderators, etc. who helped make SwarmFest another success.

New wiki content for Repast, MASON, NetLogo, and Swarm: template models and IDEs

New pages in the ABM Resources area of the wiki contain information for selecting and learning to use one of these popular platforms for agent-based modeling.

Reviews and comparisons of ABM software platforms.
Software_templates: 16 working models that start extremely simple and sequentially add common features such as space objects, graphs, probes, random number distributions, and file input and output. The models are implemented in MASON, NetLogo, Repast, and Java and Objective-C Swarm. These template codes can be used to compare platforms and to get started using them.
Information on integrated development environments including specific instructions for using the Eclipse IDE with MASON, Repast, and Java Swarm.

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; template models; integrated development environments)
- "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.

-===Wiki renovation===
-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 [[SDG_contact|contact us]].
