What is Swarm?
If you are reading this, you probably already know. In case you don’t: Swarm is a programming library initiated by a team of researchers at the Santa Fe Institute led by Chris Langton. To learn more about Langton and the SFI, I’d suggest you look at Mitchell Waldrop’s book Complexity. Swarm represents an attempt to gather up many different kinds of models that go under the heading of “agent-based modeling” and create a common language and programming approach.
