+Pkg-Description: framework for creating agent based simulations
+ Repast Simphony is a free and open source agent-based modeling toolkit
+ that simplifies model creation and use. Repast Simphony offers users a
+ rich variety of features including the following:
+  * Fluid model component development using any mixture of Java, Groovy,
+    and flowcharts in each project;
+  * A pure Java point-and-click model execution environment that includes
+    built-in results logging and graphing tools as well as automated
+    connections to a variety of optional external tools including the R
+    statistics environment, *ORA and Pajek network analysis plugins, A
+    live agent SQL query tool plugin, the VisAD scientific visualization
+    package, the Weka data mining platform, many popular spreadsheets,
+    the MATLAB computational mathematics environment, and the iReport
+    visual report designer;
+  * An extremely flexible hierarchically nested definition of space
+    including the ability to do point-and-click and modeling and
+    visualization of 2D environments; 3D environments; networks including
+    full integration with the JUNG network modeling library as well as
+    Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and UCINET DL file importing; and
+    geographical spaces including 2D and 3D Geographical Information
+    Systems (GIS) support;
+  * A range of data storage "freeze dryers" for model check pointing
+    and restoration including XML file storage, text file storage, and
+    database storage;
+  * A fully concurrent multithreaded discrete event scheduler;
+  * Libraries for genetic algorithms, neural networks, regression, random
+    number generation, and specialized mathematics;
+  * An automated Monte Carlo simulation framework which supports multiple
+    modes of model results optimization;
+  * Built-in tools for integrating external models;
+  * Distributed computing with Terracotta;
+  * Full object-orientation;
+  * Optional end-to-end XML simulation
+  * A point-and-click model deployment system

+Pkg-Description: multi-agent simulation of complex systems
+ Swarm is a software package for multi-agent simulation of complex
+ systems, originally developed at the Santa Fe Institute. Swarm is
+ intended to be a useful tool for researchers in a variety of
+ disciplines. The basic architecture of Swarm is the simulation of
+ collections of concurrently interacting agents: with this architecture,
+ we can implement a large variety of agent based models.
+Remark: Jakson Alves de Aquino has a guide to installing Swarm 2.2 on Ubuntu and Debian
+ This guide vanished from the web but the WayBackMachine conserved
