Introduction to Swarm
From SwarmWiki
Swarm is a software package for multi-agent simulation of complex systems, originally developed at the Santa Fe Institute. Swarm is intended to be a useful tool for researchers in the study of agent based models.
Swarm software comprises a set of code libraries which enable simulations of agent based models to be written in the Objective-C or Java computer languages. These libraries will work on a very wide range of computer platforms.
The basic architecture of Swarm is the simulation of collections of concurrently interacting agents: with this architecture, we can implement a large variety of agent based models.
The Swarm software is available to the general public under GNU licensing terms. Swarm is experimental software, which means that it is complete enough to be useful but will always be under development.
