[Swarm-Modelling] ESSA 2009 Tutorial: Social Simulation on the Grid

[Gary Polhill]

[Apologies for cross posting--feel free to forward to anyone you think might be 
interested]

Free tutorial for registered ESSA 2009 participants: Social Simulation on the 
Grid.
14 September 2009, 09:30-12:50, Griffith Theatre, University of Surrey, 
Guildford, UK.

Grid technology allows access to computing resource, often for free; so there's 
no excuse for not exploring that extra region of parameter space with your 
model. This tutorial will be useful for anyone wanting to find out more about 
the Grid/e-Infrastructure, and how to run social simulations on it.

Final programme:

09:30 Welcome
        (Gary Polhill, Research Scientist, Macaulay Land Use Research 
Institute.)

09:40 Integration of e-Research Software with Social Simulation Software
        (Neil Chue Hong, Director, OMII-UK.)

10:15 Grid Computing: EGEE and NGS Projects
        (Hamza Mehammed, Senior Trainer, National e-Science Centre.)

10:45 Coffee break

11:15 Experience: Social Simulation on the Grid with FEARLUS
        (Gary Polhill)

This session will feature a live demo of using simulationBox to run a 
simulation, and a video of using simulationBox on a cluster.

12:15 Discussion and Q&A

12:50 Close
