==2022-10-25: Quasi-Endowment==
 +
Now that we're re-instated as a valid 501(c)(3) with the IRS (thanks to [https://charitableallies.org/ Charitable Allies] for their help), we are pursuing a "quasi-endowment". Our intention is to invest the remaining funds and use any dividends from that investment to support ABM community members with conference registration fees, travel, etc. We will need to supplement that with donations, as well, because only a percentage of income can be from investment returns. Once we have the investment set up, we'll have an indication of how much we'll need in donations, which will provide the kernel for a fund-raising objective.

===New version of Objective-C Swarm for Windows===
+
=Swarm Development Group=
There is a new binary (and source) release of Swarm that works with MinGW, a compiler that produces Windows executables. Advantages of this new way to use Swarm in Windows:
+
* Windows executables can be launched directly from Windows, without needing to launch from inside a Unix-like environment.
+
* Swarm models can be distributed for use on any Windows computer, without requiring Swarm or MinGW to be installed.
+
* Faster execution than Cygwin Swarm.

===Thank you to all the Participants for successful Swarmfest 2011!===

We returned to the Santa Fe Complex (Website http://sfcomplex.org/ ) on June 26 and 27, 2011 for a spirited and successful Swarmfest 2011.  Topics covered included: applications of agent-based modeling to education, biomedical research, economics and social science, discussions concerning the use of the terms &quot;emergence&quot; and &quot;complexity,&quot; and an update on current and future work on SLAPP (Swarm-like Agent Protocols in Python); a toolkit derived from the original Swarm package with ongoing and active development. We also had the opportunity to hear from 3 of the teams that participated in the 2010-11 New Mexico Supercomputing Challenge (see  http://challenge.nm.org ). Visit the [[Swarmfest 2011 Page]] speakers, titles and abstracts. We hope to be posting presentations in the near future as well.

===Call for Mentors for the 2010-2011 New Mexico Supercomputing Challenge===
+
For the past two years Swarmfest has served as a venue for participants of the New Mexico Supercomputing Challenge (SCC) to present their work, receive feedback and interact with active researchers using agent based modeling. The SCC is a program committed to teaching teams of middle and high schools students how to use powerful computers to analyze, model and solve world problems.  For more information please see http://challenge.nm.org . Agent based modeling has increasingly been used in SCC projects, with two of the top projects from the last two years utilizing agent based modeling. For details of these projects check out &quot;To Kill a Flocking Bird &quot; -  http://challenge.nm.org/archive/09-10/finalreports/70.pdf and &quot;Control and Spread of Wildfires&quot; -  http://challenge.nm.org/archive/09-10/finalreports/99.pdf . Mentoring can be accomplished online; those interested in more information should go to &quot;The Role of a Challenge Mentor&quot; http://challenge.nm.org/resources/role.shtml and &quot;Questions to discuss with a team&quot;  http://challenge.nm.org/resources/tpd.html , or contact '''consult@challenge.nm.org'''  for more information. We believe that this is an excellent opportunity to &quot;get them while they are young&quot; and provide an introduction into an exciting and growing area of computational research.

Agent- and Individual-based Modeling Resources

Resources for agent-based modeling. This area of the wiki is for information on agent-based modeling in general. This area is no longer maintained and we refer interested people to more up-to-date sites such as www.OpenABM.org

There is still information on:

  • Agent-based modeling community resources
  • Software (information on alternative platforms; learning materials; template models; integrated development environments)
  • "How and why to do agent-based modeling": techniques and theory
  • Resources specific to different scientific domains
