Community Events

Spatial and temporal thinking is important not just because everything happens at some places and at some time, but because knowing where and when things are happening is key to understanding how and why they happened or will happen. Spatial data science is concerned with the representation, modeling, and simulation of spatial processes, as well as with the publication, retrieval, reuse, integration, and analysis of such space- and place-centric data.

At CoMSES.Net, we are seeing a growing number of models using GAMA. This is a great opportunity to present some of your works and learn more about GAMA modelling. The event is hosted online by Unit for Mathematical and Computer Modeling of Complex Systems, France (UMMISC).

The 19th annual Social Simulation Conference (SSC 2024) will take place from 16th to 20th September 2024 at the Cracow University of Economics, Poland. The conference will be hybrid, allowing participation on-site and online possible.

In the mentioned context, the Life-Cycle Thinking for Complex-Systems Initiative brings a webinar in which we will have three presentations that are meant to provide an introductory view of the characteristics, benefits, and challenges of using ABM as a complexity-oriented approach in combination with LCA. The presentations will be given by three experienced researchers in the field:

The current emissions from computing are almost 4% of the world total. This is already more than emissions from the airline industry and ICT emissions are projected to rise steeply over the next two decades. By 2040 emissions from computing alone will account for more than half of the emissions budget to keep global warming below 1.5°C. Consequently, this growth in computing emissions is unsustainable.

The 17th International Conference on Social Computing, Behavioral-Cultural Modeling, & Prediction and Behavior Representation in Modeling and Simulation will be held on September 18-20, 2024. Submissions for paper are due 21st July 2024.

Applications are now open for the 2024 OSG School: https://osg-htc.org/school-2024/
Through lectures, discussions, and lots of hands-on activities with experienced OSG staff, you will learn how HTC systems work, how to run and manage lots of jobs and huge datasets to implement a scientific computing workflow, and where to get more information and help.
