Re: [Swarm-Modelling] Communication models

[Joshua O'Madadhain]

I don't know about Swarm models, but there has been a fair amount of  
work done on this subject by researchers in social network analysis.   
If you're interested, the SOCNET mailing list would be a good place  
to ask this question (although a bit of judicious Googling would  
probably get you a few articles to start with).
