[SwarmFest2004] Abstract submission -- question

[Rick Riolo]

Hi All,

So what has been the policy in the past?

As i understand it from the cfp, people can submit 
abstracts (as well as extended abstracts, papers, posters).
And they can they be allocated some time to talk, yes?

How did you folks decide who gets to talk how long?

Subject: [SwarmFest2004] Abstract submission


Hi.  I'm a software engineer on staff at Northwestern University and
NetLogo's lead developer.  I'm looking forward to the 'Fest.  Here's my
proposal for a talk about NetLogo that I hope will be interesting both
to people who haven't seen it before and to people who've seen it but
are wondering what's new and where we're headed.

I have one question: is it strictly necessary that there be an
accompanying paper, or can it just be a talk?  (I might do a paper
version anyway, actually, but I would like to know if it's required.)

TITLE: NetLogo: A Simple Environment for Modeling Complex Systems
PRESENTER: Seth Tisue (address@hidden, 847/467-2814)
ORGANIZATION: Northwestern University

ABSTRACT: NetLogo (Wilensky, 1999) is a multi-agent programming language
and development environment for modeling complex systems.  It is
designed for both education and research and is in use across wide range
of disciplines.  In this talk, I will outline the design principles
underlying NetLogo and describe recent and planned enhancements.  Our
goal is to make complex systems modeling accessible to students and
researchers who are not professional programmers or have never
programmed before. The NetLogo language extends Logo to support large
numbers of agents interacting concurrently. The NetLogo environment
includes tools for programming, building a user interface, and
interacting with a model as it runs.  NetLogo runs on any platform that
supports Java.  Models can be run as applets in a web browser. Over 140
example models are included. Notable recent enhancements to NetLogo
include increased speed, more flexible control of graphics, improved
exchange of data with other applications, and the ability for users to
write their own add-on modules to extend NetLogo's
capabilities. Recently, we have begun a project to use NetLogo to model
the growth of cities; as part of this and other ongoing projects, we
will continue to expand NetLogo's capabilities as a research tool.
