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

Xholon project implements "StupidModel" template agent-based models

Xholon is an open-source modeling platform that supposed agent-based models. Ken Webb of the Xholon project recently demonstrated this platform's capabilities by implementing all 16 of the "StupidModel" template ABMs, which have also been implemented in Swarm, Repast, NetLogo, and other platforms. See the template code page for additional information. Information on Xholon is at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xholon/

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.

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.
