SwarmFest 2007 Registration is now open! Abstracts due June 1

Registration is now open for SwarmFest. Register early especially to reserve low-cost housing.

SDG is very happy to announce that this year's SwarmFest will be July 12-14 at DePaul University in downtown Chicago. SwarmFest2007 features: an exciting location, inexpensive housing, easy transportation, tutorials in agent-based modeling software, a banquet presentation by Dr Tim Kohler (a long-time Swarm user and Santa Fe Institute faculty member whose award-winning "Village" project pioneered the application of agent-based modeling in anthropology and archeology), a variety of other interesting speakers, plus free t-shirts! The conference web site is now up. It includes the Call for Papers, with details on registration, cost, etc. Abstracts are due June 1 (later submittals will be considered if space allows).

Swarm Development Group Mentors 3 Google Summer of Code Students

Swarm Development Group has been approved to mentor 3 students by Google's Summer of Code program. Welcome Nima Talebi, Gennady Telegin, and Joris Kluivers; who will be mentored by Scott Christley and Marcus Daniels.

Swarm and Objective-C++

Objective-C++ is a new addition to the gcc compiler that allows code to mix Objective-C and C++. Marcus Daniels and Gennady Telegin just developed a version of Swarm that works with the Objective-C++ compiler, making a new way to obtain the advantages of both C++ (e.g., many libraries; better speed) and Swarm. See the FAQ on C++ and Swarm.

New Wiki Content: Speed-ups

New material on the Swarm FAQ section of the wiki discusses ways to make a model run faster, including use of the Objective-C profiler. Some methods apply to non-Swarm models. This topic was a strong interest of the user community expressed at SwarmFest 2006. See the FAQ section on run-time problems.

Be a Swarm Development Group Member!

Membership in SDG is a way to support our efforts to maintain and improve Swarm, and to support agent-based modeling. We just updated our membership page with new membership categories and procedures. Take a look to see what you can do. --SFRailsback 17:34, 10 Nov 2006 (EST)



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.
