I recently went to Germany to convert the heathens to Swarm. (I work
with ecological modelers at Umweltforschungszentrums Leipzig-Halle.)

It is easier to convince people you need Swarm by telling horror stories
about home-made software! 

Here is a paper where we discuss some of the issues, and benefits of
Swarm:
"Software engineering considerations for individual-based models", G. E.
P. Ropella, S. F. Railsback, and S. K. Jackson (2002). Natural Resource
Modeling 15: 5-22. 

You can download it here:

(There are a number of other papers listed there, all of which were made
possible by Swarm.)
