+**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.
+\\
+[...] collection of independent agents interacting via discrete events. [...] There are no domain
+specific requirements such as particular spatial environments, physical phenomena, agent representations, or interaction patterns.
+Swarm simulations have been written for such diverse areas [...]
+The basic unit of a Swarm simulation is the agent. An agent is any actor in a system,
+any entity that can generate events that affect itself and other agents. Simulations consist
+of groups of many interacting agents. [...] Simulation of discrete interactions between
+agents stands in contrast to continuous system simulations, where simulated
+phenomena are quantities in a system of coupled equations.
+In addition to being containers for agents, swarms can themselves be agents. [...]
+an agent can also itself be a swarm: a collection of objects and a schedule of actions.
+In this case, the agent's behavior is defined by the emergent phenomena of the agents inside
+its swarm. Hierarchical models can be built by nesting multiple swarms.
+Swarm has the following components:
+  * **SwarmObject**: All agent classes inherit behavior from it. SwarmObject defines the basic interface for memory management as well as the support for probes.
+  * **Swarm**: Model swarms and observer swarms are written by using code inherited from this base class.
+  * **Activity**: defines the scheduling data structures and execution support.
+  * **Simtools**: classes to control the execution of the entire simulation apparatus: a fully graphical and a batch mode.
+Ambiguity can occur in partial orders and time-based schedules as a result of two or
+more actions scheduled at the same time or in the same relative order. Swarm resolves
+such ambiguity by defining a "concurrent group type," an explicit indication of how to
+execute a group of actions that are defined at the same time. Options include running the
+group in an arbitrary, fixed order running the group in a random order every time or
+actually running each action concurrently, for future implementation on parallel machines.
+The explicit notation of a concurrent group type helps to expose and remove any hidden
+assumptions in the time structure of a model.
+__TerraME:__ this control of ambiguity can be very interesting
