Re: BibTeX reference to SWARM

[Nelson Minar]

Sorry for the confusion about the Swarm paper. The problem is that an
incorrect URL is being propagated. The final paper is
The Swarm Simulation System: A Toolkit for Building Multi-Agent Simulations
  http://www.santafe.edu/projects/swarm/overview.ps
  http://www.santafe.edu/projects/swarm/overview/overview.html
and is dated June 21, 1996 (my last day of employment at SFI :-) It is
fine to reference this paper.

Sadly, it's not formally published. The SFI working paper series
claims that this will appear in thte book, "The Economy as an
Evolving, Complex System II, edited by W. Brian Arthur et al.
(Addison-Wesley), but I believe that's not correct.

So how's this for a reference? The URL field is not standard BiBTeX to
my knowledge, but it's easy to hack a .bst to add it in. the HTML
formatting command at the bottom comes with html.sty, useful and
widely available.

  abstract = {Swarm is a multi-agent software platform for the
simulation of complex adaptive systems. In the Swarm system the basic
unit of simulation is the swarm, a collection of agents executing a
schedule of actions. Swarm supports hierarchical modeling approaches
whereby agents can be composed of swarms of other agents in nested
structures. Swarm provides object oriented libraries of reusable
components for building models and analyzing, displaying, and
controlling experiments on those models. Swarm is currently available
as a beta version in full, free source code form. It requires the GNU
C Compiler, Unix, and X Windows. More information about Swarm can be
obtained from our web pages
