Re: [Swarm-Modelling] Re: Agent interaction/communication in MAS simulation

[chris rohe]

Hello list,
I have been watching the listserv for some time now and would like to know 
how to start out with the software from the basics.  I have done predictive 
modeling with GIS and am really interested in trying agent based modeling, 
but I am still clueless on what all I need to down load.  If anyone would be 
interested in pointing me in the right direction I would be very 
appreciative.  Thanks, chris Rohe
