Hamburg University of Technology, July 15-19, 2013
The
Institute of Accounting and Management Control invites you to
participate at the 4th ESSA Summer School at the Hamburg University of
Technology (Germany). After three successful ESSA summer schools we want
to continue giving introductions to agent-based modeling &
simulation.
To guide the students through the summer school, the lectures will be organized along the research process of social simulation.
Starting with a general introduction, the summer school proceeds with
modeling issues and documentation. Afterwards, the design of simulation
experiments as well as simulation data analysis and validation are
addressed. Also issues ‘outside the box’ are discussed, such as the
application of ABM in industry. Methods and helpful tools for the
application of ABM are mentioned and introduced along the week.
The ESSA summer school provides an introduction in research process, methods and tools for applying agent-based simulation in the social sciences. Lectures and tutorials from experts in the field are complemented by daily group discussions.
By this, the understanding of the topics presented should be fostered.
Furthermore, the group discussions provide the opportunity to progress in own simulation projects
in a constructive atmosphere. To ensure the effectiveness, the
participants are asked to state the question they would like to solve
within the summer school before the workshop.
After the summer school, participants can expect to have absorbed knowledge about simulation methodology.
Application
The summer school welcomes postgraduate students, post-doctoral researchers and professionals.
