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.
NewsAnnouncement for Swarmfest 2012Email Inquiries to: swarmfest2012@gmail.com Swarmfest 2012 will take place in Downtown Charlotte, N.C.

The conference venue is the UNCC Center City Building http://centercity.uncc.edu/.

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.Posted: --SFRailsback 17:34, 10 Nov 2006 (EST)
