[Swarm-Modelling] Individual-based Modeling at the 2005 Conference on Natural Resource Modeling

[Steve Railsback]

Humboldt State University is hosting the Resource Modeling Association’s 
2005 international conference, June 14-17th. The conference is to 
provide a forum for new developments in modeling and analysis of natural 
resource systems, particularly ecological, economic, and management 
aspects in forestry, fisheries, wildlife, agriculture, ecosystem and 
biodiversity conservation, and management of multiple use resources.

We are especially emphasizing agent-based and individual-based modeling 
at this conference, as it one of our own research interests (see: 
http://www.humboldt.edu/~ecomodel ). Individual-based approaches will be 
addressed in two keynote talks and in a one-day workshop following the 
conference. We also plan to fill at least one half-day special session 
with contributed presentations.

Researchers and managers who use, or are considering using, 
individual-based models are encouraged to attend and submit papers. The 
conference will be this June 14-17 in Arcata, on the beautiful redwood 
coast of northern California. Abstracts for oral presentations and 
posters are due May 1. Information is at:
