 MISS-ABMS 2018
 Multi-platform International Summer School

 September 10-21, 2018, Agropolis International, Montpellier (France)

This two-weeks practical training course is organized by CIRAD and IRSTEA with the support of Agropolis International and with the contributions of INRA, CNRS and the University of Toulouse.

The principles, methods and technics of the design, implementation and exploration of agent-based modelling and simulation are taught and then applied by the trainees during practical sessions. During the first week, demonstrations and hands-on sessions on the three proposed platforms (CORMAS, GAMA, NetLogo) allow participants to choose a platform and get ready to use it. They are also guided by the trainers to start designing collectively a toy agent-based model by groups of 2-4 trainees sharing similar research topics. During the second week, the trainers support the participants in implementing and fine-tuning their prototype agent-based models. Specific points are also addressed according to the expectations and demands of the participants, and some applications developed by the trainers are presented and demonstrated.
