Agent-Based Modeling Bootcamp for Health Researchers 2012
Dates: August 20-25, 2012
Location: Spinks Addition S320 Teaching Lab, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada
Website and Registration: http://tinyurl.com/ABMForHealthBootcamp2012
The Agent-Based Modeling Bootcamp for Health Researchers is an intensive, hands-on tutorial that seeks to provide health science researchers with a systematic, practical and accessible introduction to agent-based modeling for health, using familiar language and concepts. The tutorial will cover a broad set of topics in agent-based modeling, offer optional material for those seeking additional depth of coverage, and emphasize the complementary insights when agent-based modeling is combined with traditional health sciences approaches and with other systems science methods. Course material are drawn from the instructor's semester-long interdisciplinary courses at MIT and the University of Saskatchewan, but is covered here in an intensive five-day tutorial. Session videos, course presentations, example models, and other material will be made available for post-tutorial review.
Optional tutorials will additionally be provided on programming concepts and skills required for intermediate and advanced agent-based modeling. The optional final day of the bootcamp will give participants the opportunity to brainstorm with the instructor and TAs concerning ideas for modeling projects, and to discuss concrete design and implementation strategies for those projects.
