The Department of Computer Science & Engineering, the Indiana Center for Insect Genomics, and the Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Biocomplexity at the University of Notre Dame, and the Swarm Development Group (SDG) are pleased to announce the Tenth Annual Swarm Agent-Based Simulation Meeting to be held on the campus of the University of Notre Dame, on June 23-24, 2006.

At SwarmFest 2006, scientists, modelers, and programmers working in a wide variety of domains will get the opportunity to share their research, knowledge and experience with multi-agent modeling including (but not restricted to) the Swarm simulation system. Researchers using other Agent-based Modeling tools such as RePast, StarLogo, Eco Lab, NetLogo, Mason, IMT, AgentSheets, Ascape, ABLE, JADE, JAS, SIM_AGENT, Zeus are invited to participate. The Swarm Development Group also uses the meeting to help determine future development priorities, so come and tell us what's on your mind! The meeting is a cross section of the community, historically including content suitable for both inexperienced and experienced users and researchers.

SwarmFest 2006 will commence on Friday, June 23, and will finish on Saturday, June 24. All meeting sessions will be held in the McKenna Conference Center, across the street from the Morris Inn, the conference hotel.
