View source for Swarm: applications and user contributions main page

{{SwarmNavigation}}

This section of the wiki provides applications of Swarm software. These applications include:
*Working models, both simple demonstration models and models of real-world scientific problems, and
*Swarm-based code contributed for potential re-use by others


==Applications and example models==
The [[Swarm: applications]] page lists many Swarm models that can be downloaded and used. These include a few demonstration models maintained by Swarm Development Group and many models developed by Swarm users.

Also see the [[ABM_Resources#Software_Resources|software resources at the ABM Resources area of the wiki]] for a series of template models in Java and Objective-C Swarm, and for guidance on using Swarm with integrated development environments.

==User-contributed code==
The [[Swarm: contributed code]] page lists code written by Swarm users and made available for re-use by other users. The contributed code includes, for example, classes written using Swarm for:
*Genetic algorithms
*Neural networks
*3-dimensional spaces
*Boolean networks
*Output files, including summary statistics on agent lists
*Date and time management

[[Image:PikeminnowModelAnimation.gif|none|thumb|400px|Pikeminnow|A Swarm model of the effects of dam-caused river flow fluctuations on fish living in a backwater. Blue = submerged backwater; green = exposed backwater; red = upland; tan = river mainstem. The endangered Colorado pikeminnow (green dots) compete with exotic red shiners (red dots) for food in the backwater. As flows cycle up and down over 24-hr periods, backwater area changes. Much of the model's code is [[Swarm: contributed code|user-contributed]]. For more information, see [[User:SFRailsback|SFRailsback]]. ''Click on the picture to animate it.'']]
