Dear Colleagues,
IUFRO group 4.01.06 – Quantitative Ecology offers a two-days hands-on workshop on Individual/Agent Based Modelling for beginners and more advanced modellers to share experience and tips & tricks
thus interfacing ecology, statistics and programming. The event will take place on 20/21 August 2018 at Umeå (Sweden).
Agent/Individual-based modelling (ABM, IBM) techniques have emerged as crucial tools for analysing and understanding self-organisation processes in various ecosystems as well as
in social sciences. ABM/IBM is a methodology for relating the micro-level behaviour to the macro- or system-level behaviour and shares certain similarities with game theory.
An important part of individual-based models are interaction processes between individuals or agents, e.g. trees, humans or animals.
More information can be found in the attached flyer and on
https://www.slu.se/statistics/workshops. Please distribute this information
widely.
Sincerely,
Arne Pommerening
