Swarm is a software package (a kernel and library) for multi-agent simulation 
of complex systems, developed by the Swarm Development Group (SDG, see below 
for a description).  Swarm is a useful tool for researchers in a variety of 
disciplines and has been in active development and use in the scientific 
community since 1995.  The basic architecture of Swarm is the simulation of 
collections of concurrently interacting agents: with this architecture, a large 
variety of agent based models can be implemented.  The Swarm kernel is written 
in Objective C, and compiles with GCC, and bindings are available for writing 
models in both Scheme and Java, and there are plans to add C++ bindings. 

The Swarm software is available to the general public under the GNU General 
Public License (GPL). Swarm is experimental software, which means that it\'s 
complete enough to be useful but is under development.  The current (stable) 
release of Swarm is 2.1.1.  All software required to build Swarm itself and 
build models written in Swarm is free software, available under the GPL.

The Swarm Development Group (SDG) located at http://www.swarm.org/, is a 
501c(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to advancing the state-of-the-art 
in multi agent based simulation through the continued advancement of the Swarm 
Simulation System and support of the Swarm user community.  The mission 
statement for the SDG can be found at: http://www.swarm.org/sdg.html
