Simulation for the Social Sciences
23. - 27. September 2002
This is be a five day course on the techniques of developing simulations
to help with the exploration and understanding of social and economic
issues. It will provide a rationale for using simulation in the social
sciences and outline a number of approaches to social simulation at a
level of detail that would enable participants to understand the
literature and, for some selected approaches, to develop their own
simulations.
The workshop covers the basics of modelling and simulation in the social
sciences from different points of view (mathematics, computer science,
philosophy of science) and seven different approaches to computer
simulation in the social sciences. It is based on the book, Nigel
Gilbert and Klaus G. Troitzsch (1999) Simulation for the Social
scientist. Open University Press.
This course is co-organized with ZUMA Mannheim and will be held at the
University of Koblenz-Landau at the Koblenz, Metternich Campus. An
overview of the course can be found at http://www.uni-
koblenz.de/~kgt/SICSS/ModSimNew.html.
The course will be taught in English by Klaus G. Troitzsch (Universität
Koblenz-Landau) and Nigel Gilbert (University of Surrey, UK).
To be considered for the course, you should apply to ZUMA
(workshop@zuma-mannheim.de, tel.: +49 621-1246-221) as soon as possible
(numbers are limited). The last date for applications is 10 July 2002.
There is a course fee of 100 euro. You will also need to find the costs
of travel to Koblenz, accommodation and meals, but some student hostel
rooms may be available.
Please forward this notice to others who may be interested.
