Documentation Set for Swarm 2.0.1

Swarm Development Group


Published 18 September 1999
Release 2.0.1

The Swarm home page provides a good introduction to Swarm (what it does and what it aims to be). On the other hand, the The Overview to Swarm aims to give you a more detailed overview of the sorts of things a user needs to do in order to get a simulation up and running in Swarm. The combination of these two documents should help you decide whether Swarm would be a useful tool in the context of your research.

Please direct all questions, bug reports, or suggestions for changes to the Swarm developers .
