Caro Pietro,
il tagliapance Gary An sostiene vigorosamente di aver pubblicizzato la
CFP alla SF di quest'anno su innumerevoli liste (Swarm+Repast). Per la
causa sacrificherei tutto ...ma non la pancia, quindi gli ho risposto,
abbozzando, che sono stato io a perdermi gli invii. Della mail
originaria (che ti accludo sotto, come da invio di Gary) nessuna traccia
nella mailbox ne' sulla rete (a parte qua:
http://www.openabm.org/forum/2926 ). Lo svolgimento della conferenza è
quindi data per scontato, come pure una estensione della linea morta
(deadline extension).
Accendo il radar-biglietti?
A presto,
Matteo

Swamfest is the annual meeting of the Swarm Development Group (SDG),
and one of the oldest communities involved in the development and
propagation of agent-based modeling. Swarmfest has traditionally
involved a mix of both tool-users and tool-developers, drawn from many
domains of expertise. These have included, in the past, computer
scientists, software engineers, biomedical researchers, ecologists,
economists, political scientists, social scientists, resource
management specialists and evolutionary biologists. Swarmfest
represents a low-key environment for researchers to explore new ideas
and approaches, and benefit from a multi-disciplinary environment.
This year we will continue to examine the range of systems being
modeled with ABM, with the possibility of providing some guidance as
to the suitability of the various types of agent-based models for
particular types of modeling goals. We also encourage the sharing of
our experiences with attempting to gain acceptance of ABM within our
own research communities, and discuss strategies where cross-domain
examples/analogies can aid in that process. We will also try to
identify future avenues for ABM research, including the "next"
generation of ABM tools, platforms and application.
Watch this List as well as the Swarm Development Group homepage
(http://www.swarm.org/) for upcoming news on the location facilities,
program and logistics.
Hope to see you in Charlotte!
