A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org.
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Alex Lancaster <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: Swarm
System name: swarm
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project
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 it is possible to add C++ bindings.
Swarm 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, the latest unstable snapshot release is 2.1.137 (2002-04-14). 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
It already exists and you can see it at http://www.swarm.org/. The latest
distribution can be found at:
