News 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) Call for Papers: Agent-Directed Simulation (ADS'07) Symposium A call for papers has just been issued for: Agent-Directed Simulation Symposium (ADS'07), part of the 2007 Spring Simulation Multiconference (SpringSim'07), sponsored by The Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS). The meeting will be March 25- 29, 2007, Norfolk, VA, USA. The call for papers and information is at: http://www.eng.auburn.edu/SCS-TM/ADS-2007.htm Posted: --SFRailsback 12:26, 3 Jul 2006 (EDT) New wiki content for Repast, MASON, NetLogo, and Swarm: template models and IDEs New pages in the ABM Resources area of the wiki contain information for selecting and learning to use one of these popular platforms for agent-based modeling. Reviews and comparisons of ABM software platforms. Software_templates: 16 working models that start extremely simple and sequentially add common features such as space objects, graphs, probes, random number distributions, and file input and output. The models are implemented in MASON, NetLogo, Repast, and Java and Objective-C Swarm. These template codes can be used to compare platforms and to get started using them. Information on integrated development environments including specific instructions for using the Eclipse IDE with MASON, Repast, and Java Swarm.

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.
