Intermittent Outages of SDG Wiki and Servers

The Center for Study of Complex Systems at University of Michigan is moving the servers that host this wiki and the Swarm/SDG email lists. Intermittant outages are expected for the next few days.

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.

Wiki renovation

This wiki is undergoing a major renovation to better reflect Swarm Development Group's overall mission of supporting agent-based modeling in general, as well as maintaining Swarm. This home page now has separate boxes for news, ABM resources, Swarm, and SDG. With your help, we will be building up the ABM resources to become a home for all agent-based modelers, no matter what platform they use. If you find bad links, mistakes, etc., please contact us.

A-globe: A new open-source tool for agent-based modeling

The Agent Technology Group, Czech Technical University, announces A-globe, a JAVA multi-agent platform designed for testing experimental scenarios featuring agent positions and communication inaccessibility. The A-globe home page is http://agents.felk.cvut.cz/aglobe .

Major redesign of SDG wiki

The Swarm area of the wiki was just re-organized so all its content falls in one of 3 categories, each with its own main page: software, documentation and support, and applications (including user-contributed code that supplements Swarm).

SwarmFest 2005 tutorial and program

Posted: 05:13, 5 May 2005

The tutorial and conference program are now online.

Known bugs and workarounds for Swarm 2.2

Posted: 22:17, 21 Apr 2005

A bug in the getMin and getMax method of Swarm's Averager class was recently discovered. A description and fixes are on the stable release page.

Objective C swarmapps updated for 2.2

Posted: 00:33, 2 Mar 2005

Thanks to Paul Johnson there is a new package of applications for Swarm-2.2, particularly for Objective C. For more details see the applications page.

Swarm 2.2: Our new stable release

Posted: 08:12, 10 Feb 2005

Swarm Development Group announces the release of Swarm 2.2 as the new stable release. The many development snapshots have been consolidated into a single set of code for all the available platforms. Thanks to Marcus Daniels for preparing the release, and all of you who have helped develop and test snapshots on various platforms.

  • Source code, plus binaries for Windows, Fedora, and Mac OS X are available at the stable release page.
  • See the documentation page for the Swarm 2.2 documentation set.
  • Example applications are being updated and maintained by Paul Johnson. These currently include well-known models such as heatbugs, mousetrap, the Swarm tutorial, arborgames, schelling2, and Conway's game of life. These are currently on the CVS site at Swarm's development home at Savannah: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/swarm/

Not all aspects of the release are completely settled down and we expect some minor changes in how it is distributed for specific platforms. Here is what you can do:

  • If you identify problems, post them to the Swarm support email list, and (better yet) try to find solutions and post those, too.
  • If you develop binary distributions for new platforms, etc., post them and an announcement on this wiki. (We encourage users to add things to this site! It's easy.)
  • Buy an SDG membership so maintenance and development of Swarm can continue.


SwarmFest 2005

Posted: 19.00, 17 March 2005
  • Pietro Terna announces that the official SwarmFest2005 page is on line. Look at the call for papers!


SDG membership

Development of Swarm 2.2 was largely a volunteer effort (by Marcus Daniels, Paul Johnson, Bill Northcott, and many others), but its packaging as a stable release was paid for by Swarm Development Group membership fees. Memberships are the primary resource we have for future maintenance and development.

  • Include a group or institutional membership fee in your project budget. Your proposal will not be rejected because you include an SDG membership as software support or license; instead, it will make you look smart and sophisticated. (This is how the release of 2.2 was funded.)
  • Low-cost memberships are available for individuals and low-budget projects.
  • See the SDG contact page for information.

RPM packages for Fedora Core 3

  • Paul Johnson offers RPMs of the Swarm for Fedora Core 2 & 3: http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm. Support for Redhat 5-8 has been terminated and those packages have been removed. We still have access to one RedHat 9 system, but unless we get some requests, we probably won't try to build RPMs for that platform because the version of gcc on that system is quite out of date.

Swarm Packages for MacOS X 10.3 Panther

  • Bill Northcott announces that new binaries are available at [1] for running Swarm on MacOS X 10.3 Panther. These packages include everything other than standard Apple software needed to build and run Swarm models on Panther. There are several versions of the gcc compiler provided. One is a bleeding edge version built from the latest code in Apple's opensurce cvs. This compiler includes Fortran, libffi and the GNU Objective-C runtime library. (30 Nov 2004)

Swarm CD for Windows XP

  • Pietro Terna announces that at http://eco83.econ.unito.it/swarm/materiale/cd/ you can find 'all what you need' to install Swarm in a Windows XP machine. Look at the readme.txt file. This distribution contains also other useful things. We hope you'll enjoy it. (June 29, 2004)

SwarmFest 2005

  • Pietro Terna announces that the first SwarmFest2005 page is on line.

SwarmFest photos from 2001-2004

  • Pietro Terna announces that the photos of the 2001, 2002, 2003 Fests are now also availabe at photo.terna.to.it, free of advertising.
