OK, I think this is really a terminology issue here...
Notice that I used ABM (!) in my subject and that's what I meant.
To me Swarm _is_ the implementation. True, it set the example
and terminology for most agent-based modeling/simulation tools,
but it's still just a particular realization of a method.
That is, as I see it...

There's going to be lots of RePast talk, but far from being
centered on RePast. There's going to be the developers of four
toolkits there, discussing common issues. I expect it far more to be
on the 'method side' than on RePast.

I'll see and tell you!
