News

SwarmFest 2007 registration deadline is approaching! Abstract submission extended to June 11

Registration for SwarmFest is due by June 16. Please register early especially to reserve low-cost housing.

We have extended the abstract submission deadline to Monday, June 11. Please submit abstracts as soon as you can so we can review them promptly. We will try to notify authors who submitted by June 1 within one week.

Full-day classes (July 12) on NetLogo and Repast are available to a limited number of people; register for these as part of SwarmFest registration. There is an additional fee of $45 for these classes.

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 includes the Call for Papers, with details on registration, cost, etc.

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.

NAACSOS 2007 Conference

The North American Association for Computational Social and Organizational Science announces its 2007 conference, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA; June 7-9. The conference will include tutorials in NetLogo, Repast, and MASON software and Dynamic Network Analysis. See: http://www.casos.cs.cmu.edu/events/conferences/2007/

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.

Swarm

  • 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.
