CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - ESSA@work 2013
Are you currently working on a social simulation project
AND
want to discuss your work-in-progress?
Then you might want to attend the ESSA@work workshop during the ESSA 2013 conference. ESSA@work invites all modellers (PhD students, Post-docs, assistant/associate/full professors) to participate.
ESSA@work is a workshop where any modeller can receive and give support on their and others’ simulation-work-in-progress. During one day, a group of participants (max. 8) and experts will discuss the simulation project of each participant (presentation phase) and form small parallel discussion groups based on any desired topic (discussion phase). The combination of involved people, cutting edge research and a good constructive atmosphere makes the meetings valuable for all participants.
This type of workshop has proven its value to many modellers already, so join in and see how it can work for you! The ability to talk with peers and experts during the development of your simulation is very useful. Thetopics covered are very diverse. The participants can address questions from any stage of simulation development, for instance:
- formalisation
- validation & verification
- gather empirical data
- simulation experiments
- tools (MAS/ABM toolkits, statistical tools, etc)
- programming
- …etc.
The day starts with the ‘presentation phase’ , where every participant will give a presentation about their work and their current questions (15 mins) followed by a plenary discussion. After lunch, we continue with the ‘discussion phase’. Here, small groups are formed and 3 parallel theme-discussions will take place. At the end of the day, every participant leaves not only with input for their own work, but also feeling very stimulated and motivated after an eventful workshop.
