[Swarm-Modelling] Announcement: Introductory Course in Individual- and Agent-Based Modeling

[Steve Railsback]

The Technical University of Dresden is offering a two-week short course in 
individual- and agent-based modeling this summer (and the summers of 2009-10). 
The course is intended primarily to help graduate students get started on 
research that uses ABMs/IBMs. Emphasis will be on the conceptual and scientific 
issues of agent-based research and on learning to implement models in the 
NetLogo platform.

The course is funded by the German Academic Exchange Service so the fee and 
housing cost is waived for non-German students, and some travel support is 
available. The course will be in Bad Schandau, a small resort town near Dresden, 
Germany. Cultural and recreational opportunities will also be provided.

Additional information is at: http://www.forst.tu-dresden.de/summerschool

Applications are due by the end of February.
