New release of EcoLab for C++ modellers

Russell Standish is pleased to announce the release of Ecolab.4.D25. This is the first major release of EcoLab for almost 2 years, and consists of a major effort to eliminate all known bugs in the package, prior to starting work on EcoLab 5. There are a few new features added as well. See http://ecolab.sourceforge.net

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.
