The Swarm Simulation System

From Swarm home page:

Swarm is a software package for multi-agent simulation of complex systems being developed at The Santa Fe Institute. Swarm is intended to be a useful tool for researchers in a variety of disciplines, especially artificial life. 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. Our initial target is Unix machines running GNU Objective C and X windows: the source code is freely available under GNU Licensing terms.
