        Hi all,

        at ftp://ftp.santafe.edu/pub/swarm/users-contrib/anarchy/ 
you'll find the new files:
        CW-0.0.tar.gz
        GM-0.0.tar.gz

The first file contains a generalized package, CW (Classifier Workbech), that 
simplifies the approach to classifier systems by allowing users to handle them 
easily. The CW code contains a generalised classifier system and an application 
(a workbench): while the former copes with a variety of problems, the latter 
simulates them. The workbench helps the user in choosing the values of 
parameters and in verifying the classifier system's performance. Then he can 
include the kernel of the CW (i.e. the generalised classifier system) in any 
Swarm model and use classifiers without writing a specific code. 

        The second one contains the package GM, (Genetic manipulator), that 
manages the genetic evolution of a set of "chromosomes". The chromosomes 
represent the genotype of a function from which we derive the evolution of the 
fitness. The RuleMaker of GM is able to perform reproduction, crossover and 
mutation of a set of arrays of characters which represent the chromosomes. This 
program can be easily included in every Swarm model. 

        Both packages follow the internal ERA (Environment-Rules-Agents) scheme 
introduced by Terna in bp-ct-1.0 (see 
ftp://ftp.santafe.edu/pub/swarm/users-contrib/anarchy/bp-ct-1.0.tar.gz )

        Yours, Gigi
