RE: [Swarm-Modelling] About a model

[John Lee]

Thank for your helping.

But ASM seems too complex to match my needs.
I couldn't understand the terms of "dividend" and "position" mean.
And there is only one type of agent(trader) in ASM?
Dose That mean the trader don't separate into buyers and sellers?
Or are there other models could use?
Thanks again.

John

Usually people ask about ASM: http://artstkmkt.sourceforge.net

Years ago with Paolo Patelli I wrote a pretty substantial Java 
Swarm-based market simulation. In my view it is a decent example of full 
use of Swarm. It's in a way much cleaner and usable for markets research 
than ASM. Paolo wrote a smart auto-regressive agent for it that is 
pretty nifty, and there's code for detection of chaos and its been tuned 
somewhat for performance. If someone wanted to maintain it, SFI might be 
willing to make it open source.
