Cognition and Graphs

[Benedikt Stefansson]

Hi,

The University of Trento Center for Experimental Economics  
Laboratory in cooperation with the Center for Computable Economics  
at UCLA has been studying Swarm for brief period. At the moment we  
are thinking about using Swarm to simulate two things:
        
        1) The interaction of artificial agents playing a game which 
           has been used in (human) experiments at CEEL.
        2) An organizational model of firms as hierarchies, with a
           "principal-agent" flavor, but adaptive agents.

We wanted to ask the Swarm community if there are any other  
beta-testers who have been thinking of developing the following  
components in Swarm (or have such projects already underway):
        + Support for hierarchical or other social structures linking 
          agents, i.e. general graphs.
        + Classifier systems - either with or without the support for
          genetic operators on the classifiers.

Any ideas, news, hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  
We would also be interested in cooperating with other researchers  
in developing these libraries.
