Discovering the surroundings

Jhausser: /* White Sands */

{{CSSS 2008 Santa Fe}}



I'm especially interested in Nat. Parks and Nat. Monuments - they are just the best! I've an 'America the Beautiful' pass, which allows me (and the whole car I'm in) to visit each Park without fees. So if somebody is interested, just write it in here. I'd prefer White Sands, Petriefied Forest or Badlands. But I'm open for everything (how about Alaska? ;-)) - [[Ruben_Kubiak|Ruben]]

Nish is planning on visiting White Sands, Carlsbad and perhaps the Grand Canyon (about 7 hours for the last one). I also could drive back up to Canyonlands if folks are interested. I'm told we have a full moon in two weeks, which is when I would like to visit White Sands. I'm guessing that makes the third weekend for the Grand Canyon... I have room for 4 more in my car, although it might be a little tight. Feel free to put your name here if you'd like to tag along.

I'd like to come with you to White Sands. I've been to the Grand Canyon, and the Carlsbad Caverns are pretty far away, so this things maybe not. -[[Ruben_Kubiak|Ruben]]

I'd be glad if I can go with you both to GC and WS. Thanks a lot, [[Petr Svarc|Petr]]
I'm in; let me know ! [[Jeremie |Jeremie]]
DEFINITELY DOWN W/ White Sands, Peter

I'm interested - Paul.

===White Sands===

I'd love to come and keep the space in your car, Nish.. :) -- [[sonotto|Sonja*]]

Interested in going there [[User:Giovanni|Giovanni]]

I'd love to go -[[Molly_Rorick|Molly]]

sounds good -[[User:Dirk|Dirk]]

Count me in for full moon+sand dune experience! [[Rob_Mills|Rob]]

Me too! [[Flavia_Feitosa|Flávia]]

Definitely Interested! [[Opposite|Antony]]

I love it - [[Jiang_Wu |Jiang]]

I'm in. Since the drive is about 4 1/2 hours, I was hoping to stay overnight and do some more hiking in the morning. I was planning to sleep in my car, but if others are interested in staying overnight perhaps we can find a place to stay. - Justin Darkoch

I am interested as well - Francois

I'm in - Riley

I won't miss this one!!! Kolbjørn

I'm in too!! - Ana

Who are the potential drivers? If necessary I wouldn't mind renting a car either. Or a bus? - Peter

I'm in ! Jean

=== Camping at White Sands?? ===

http://www.roadrunnercampground.com/

I'd do this - Sonja

Camping it is - Ana

They have small cabins too, fit four people and cost about 40 bucks. I'll probably go for that if someone feel like joining. - Kolbjørn

camping sounds great. - Molly

I would love to camp - Peter

CSSS 2008 Santa Fe-After Hours

2008-06-11T19:19:23Z

Jhausser:

{{CSSS 2008 Santa Fe}}



=Scheduled Fun=

==Near Future==

=== Ping-Pong tournament for the champion of the world ===

----

Playing Ping-Pong is fun...and so is setting up a needlessly complex, round robin style, double secret elimination tournament '''FOR THE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD'''.

Anyone that likes ping-pong or setting things up should post and we can get the small plastic ball rolling.
=== Singing ===

This is the CSSS'08 Santa Fe officiel Anthem:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=-klCBXcNNa4

Learn it so we can all sing along!

=== Case studies in complexity: The Wire ===
'''Start time: 9pm, Monday, 6/9, lower dorms common area (upstairs or downstairs)'''

I have obtained the DVD box set of Season 4 of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire%2C_The The Wire]. This show has already come up in several conversations I've had at this course, and pertains to such topics as:
* How do you evolve an adaptive organization? (In Baltimore, you don't, apparently)
* How does institutional dysfunction lead to complex functional systems?
* What educational systems can have an impact on kids in low-income backgrounds ("corner kids"?)
* How can informed, ethical people deal with the corrupt political process?
* How do you combine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Dickens Charles Dickens]-style extended novelistic narrative arcs with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Mann_(film_director) Michael Mann]-style asskicking?

A couple of points. First, this show is immersive, and incredibly awesome. A nonlinear consequence of this is that people who haven't already become invested in the show may be hesitant to jump in with the fourth season. I'd like to encourage everyone to give it a shot who may be interested; it's far enough ahead that I think it actually won't spoil it for you if you later go back to the beginning. And this season is of particular interest for many of the issues I've discussed here, since it particularly focuses both on the educational system and electoral politics. The creators, David Simon and Ed Burns, both have had extensive real-life experience in the city of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore%2C_Maryland Baltimore]'s police system (Burns was a homicide detective for many years), political system (Simon was a political reporter) and educational systems. A lot of the plot points come from real life events, and the characterization is better than anything I've ever seen on TV.

I'll start Monday 6/9 (punted from Sunday b/c of NBA Finals) and update this space to schedule continuations. There are 13 episodes this season, so it'll take 4 or 5 goes, at least, to get through it.

Cheers, [[User:Sayres|Sayres]] 19:06, 8 June 2008 (MDT)

==Wednesday June 11==
=== Albuquerque Isotopes Baseball Game ===
Any interest in going to see an Albuquerque Isotopes baseball game? Next Wednesday June 11 might be a good day since I don't think there are any after hours events scheduled. Game time is 7pm so we could leave after class and easily make it on time. Looks like tickets are $9 and $11 (plus $3 online fee).

List your name if you want to attend. Let me know by Sunday and I'll buy the tickets.
http://www.albuquerquebaseball.com/

Justin Darkoch

Please count me in - Mauricio

I'll come, too. Also, I can drive as the minivan fits 6 people. - Cathy

in for the isotopes [[walter_zesk|Walt]]

Sounds like fun - Skyler

=== Board Games ===
'''Tired of learning about game theory? Let's play some games!'''

Location: Lower Commons (upper floor)

Time: 8pm (Wednesday June 11th)

We haven't had a chance to play the classic ''Settlers of Catan'', so that's going to be the first order of business. After that, we've got lots of games to choose from. Let's get more people this time, so pass the word.

==Post-CSSS==

=Activities and Interests=

== Euro championship 2008 ==
The European championship just started yesterday (and the swiss just got defeated! LoL). What matches do we want to see? I guess there's an Italy - France we cannot avoid!

Problem: matches are at 10am or 12:45am (local time). How to see them without interfering with the classes?

Put matches you are interested in here:

France vs Italy - 17/06 12:45am [[User:Giovanni|Giovanni]]

More generally all the games of the group C [[User:Jeremie|Jeremie]]
France vs Romania - 17/06 10:45am
Italy vs Holland - 17/06 12:45am

We can setup to see the replay of a particular game after classes provided we don't know the result already. Replay games are free and live games 3 euros in internet. For games on Saturday or Sunday we can go to a bar downtown. [[User:Mauricio|Mauricio]]

== Discovering the surroundings ==
Interested in discovering the surroundings? The meaning of "surrounding" is scale-free - this could be just Los Alamos but maybe also as far as the Grand Canyon. Are you interested? Got some ideas? Go [http://www.santafe.edu/events/workshops/index.php?title=Discovering_the_surroundings here] and write it down.

==Hiking Activities==

* '''Hiking this Saturday 6/14'''

So we are thinking about the next big hike. According to preferences we can have one big group like last time or divide in small groups to hike at different places.
Here are a few options so far:

'''1-Wheeler Peak.''' Altitute 13.000 ft. 15 miles overall. Near Taos, NM. (2hr drive)
Need warm clothes for cold temp, especially at night: Some people are thinking on camping so equipment will be needed.

*'''Update''' This could be done by overnight camping near a lake: Drive to Taos on Saturday, Hike in to lake (2 hours), stay overnight (or leave, if cars want to split), climb the steep peak on Sunday (4-5 hours), drive home.
I am about to try to get gear from St Johns or the SANTA FE MOUNTAIN SPORTS 
'''please sign in if interested''' 
How many tents do we have / need 
How many large backpacks, sleeping packs, isomats... 

Sonja: 1 backback, tent, waterpump (i think), water-pills, mat 
Dirk: 2 backpacks, bivouac sack, mat 

'''2-Tent Rocks.''' 3 miles. Nice and easy day hike near Santa Fe.

'''3-Nambe Lake.''' 11.000 ft. 6 miles.
May be still covered with snow and cold. Location: Albuquerque area.
This 6-mile out-and-back adventure serves up mountain forests, a peaceful creek, and an unbeatable lunch spot on the banks of a small alpine lake.

Carlos

'''4-Rio en Medio trail.''' a nice waterfall about 45 minutes from the trailhead, then
continue up on the main trail for 4 miles out + 4 miles back (back at the junction with trail 150). So it's an 8-mile out and back, follows the Rio en Medio the whole way.
There are nice small pools on the right as you go up (there's one in particular with a sandy bottom and a small waterfall), and a nice big meadow on the right. You can also do a
longer hike by doing the whole "La Junta" circuit.

Though the camping sounds great, realistically I'll probably only be up for a day hike. They all sound great. Maybe one that is not too far from here? (I want to hike more than drive) ~[[Molly_Rorick|Molly]]

Hola CSSS'ers,

Let's get together and explore the beauty and wilderness of Santa Fe's mountains!

Start by joining our Facebook group:

CSSS'08 Hiking Group
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=17254991462

Hasta la vista!
Carlos

I've always wanted to see the Native American cliff dwellings. There are ruins near Santa Fe! http://www.nmsu.edu/~redtt/Resources/html/Cliff%20Dwellings.html

==Opera==
Wayne continues his tireless effort to get a group in to a rehearsal; probably Tuesday, June 24. It would be late (9pm - midnight) and during "crunch time", but on the other hand definitely worth it, so we just need to plan ahead a bit. In the interim, [http://santafeopera.org/commprograms/onehouropera.php this] looks adorable, and might be an option for next weekend.

== Santa Fe Complex (Downtown in the Railyard) ==
When you are downtown, feel free to use the new Santa Fe Complex as a home away from St. John's. SFComplex is a non-profit dedicated to applied complexity, urban planning and computational art. We have a large 4000 square foot common space in the railyard where the train locomotives used to be repaired. In the space are projection screens and broadband access. Use the space for CSSS projects, film screenings, ad-hoc lectures or meeting others in Santa Fe in the Applied Complexity space. Or, just play some music and hang out into the wee hours. The address is 632 Agua Fria. More info at http://www.sfcomplex.org. Want to know more, contact Stephen Guerin at (505)577-5828 or Owen Densmore (505)570-0168.

==Get A Bike (for the month)==
Get a bicycle to ride around while in Santa Fe from a bike collective place called [http://chainbreakercollective.org/ Chain Breaker]. Their website is under maintenance right now, but [http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=92732509 here's] some info on them.

==Board Games==
I’ve seen a couple of other folks have interests in playing board games. It would be fun to get folks together to play some evenings. I’m always up for learning a new game and meeting other players. I’m going to bring a few that are small and compact enough to travel. Maybe others can bring some too? Cheers, Devin

I started a list so we know what will be in Santa Fe. Add to the list if you'll bring it with you. [[Board Game List]]

==Ultimate Frisbee==
I (Nish) brought a disc and cones to play some Ultimate on the weekends (or after class). I'm happy to just throw around as well. Ultimate is, or can be, super casual and a lot of fun. Grab me some time if you want to throw (I always have a disc nearby) or if you're interested in playing a game (no prior experience necessary).

Hi Nish! I just checked this ultimate frisbee on youtube. Kinda cool game!!! I think it should be played here in the morning--it will be too windy after the class.... Rio

==Local Music==
I love live music, especially folk/bluegrass. I did some quick searching and there are a few shows I think I will go to this month in Santa Fe:

June 7, 1PM: [http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=20756842 Sharon Gilchrist] at Cowgirl

June 20, evening: [http://www.caneraising.com/index.html Raising Cane]

Those are just the two I've found, I'm up for whatever

==Spa/Resort==
[http://www.tenthousandwaves.com/ Ten Thousand Waves] is very close to St. John's. Any interest?

Definitely. [[Kathleen_Sprouffske|Kathleen]]

Me too! Peter

==*Cough* *Cough* Drinking==
Well, let's be honest, we all drink :) To facilitate the great discussions that occur with the act of imbibing, I'm volunteering to be our "Beer Baron". I will drive to Albertson's every day or two and pick up beer and any booze folks want me to. Please indicate your preferences. Every night, starting around 9pm, you will find folks in the Lower Commons (near the muse dorms) hanging out, drinking, playing (Swiffer) pool and Foos(pool)ball. I'm told the Upper Commons have pool cues and foosballs we may want to "steal" at night. Stop by whenever you would like and chip in a few bucks to help keep my costs down :)

Update: Unfortunately, I was warned Wednesday evening by a St. John's student that keeping beer in the fridge in
the Lower Commons may result in said beer being stolen. So most of the beer is being stored in my room (Polyhymnia
15). I will try and move it to the fridge each evening between 8 and 9PM, if I'm on campus. Sorry for the
inconvenience.

Further update: For St. John's sake and our own, let's also not be striving for crazy parties or anything. Just
social activities with reasonable social drinking :) Thanks for your cooperation.

[[Nish_Aravamudan|Nish]]

==Basketball==

A few of us have started what we hope is a bi-weekly (or more!) game of basketball. So far we've been playing between the end of classes and dinner (4:45 to 5:30ish), but this is mutable. I will update this page as soon as we have specific plans to play again. Email me ([[David Foster]]) if you have any questions. My email address is on my page. If your question is "I am not very good", the answer is: "Neither are we."

I'm down for some hoops action (that time at Duke has to be good for something), let me know when you guys are playing - Justin

=Old/Completed fun=

==Early Arrivals==
==Wednesday June 4==
=== Board Game evening (around 8pm) ===
Location: [http://www.santafe.edu/events/workshops/index.php/Image:Cr_map.JPG Common Room] (ground floor) #37 on the [http://conferenceservices.sjcsf.edu/map.htm map]

Organizer: [[Devin_Drown|Devin]]

Looks like Wednesday might be the first unscheduled evening, so let’s meet up! Interested folks should bring any games they have or just show up ready to play. Let's see if we can take over the Common Room (lower floor) in the lower dorm area. I really enjoy teaching new players and I’ve brought along several that take only minutes to learn, so come join even if you’re just looking for a way to pass some time. Also, I brought several games that can accommodate a large number of people (up to 8 people).

CSSS 2008 Santa Fe-Tutorials

2008-06-05T13:28:05Z

Jhausser: /* Genomics / Central dogma overview */

{{CSSS 2008 Santa Fe}}



== Open Source research software ==

Open (no pun intended...) your eyes to the wonderful world of FOSS -- Free and Open Source Software. While the distinction between Free and Open Source is a very interesting one (and highly contentious in the right crowds), for research purposes, we want to use the best tools for the job but some of us suffer from limited income, so I would like to talk about both. At the same time, FOSS is great to use for a non-economic reason: if you find bugs, or design extensions, you can fix them yourself (in OSS, at least) or at least report the problem back to a typically active community. Some potential tools to discuss/explore: R, Octave, Scilab, Gnuplot, perhaps some of the more useful languages in the field like Python and perhaps others I don't know as much about (a quick `apt-cache` on my Ubuntu Hardy install shows RasMol, ClustalW, SeaView, Achilles, complearn, EMBOSS, GENESIS, etc...)

- I would like to give a "Brazilian" contribution. Those who are interested in GIS&Cia could have a look at [http://www.dpi.inpe.br/gilberto/software.html Free and Open Source GIS Source].
[[Flavia_Feitosa|Flavia]]

I would be happy to contribute a little bit about freely available simulation environments like ns-2 (computer networks) and omnet++ (a generic DES) -- Laura

- For Python I can offer a tutorial (see below). Nish, do you have any experience with [http://www.sagemath.org/ Sage]? [[User:Giovanni|Giovanni]]

All great ideas and I would love to have more of a "You know how to use this tool or you know of this tool, you talk about it" style of tutorial :)
Maybe we can do a general OSS tutorial/discussion and then transition to specific sub-topics in separate tutorials (Python, GIS, networks, etc)?
I've not used Sage, before, but I'm happy to take a look before the tutorial. Thanks for the info, Giovanni!

 
I'd like to learn more about open software. [[Holger_Keeler| Paul]]

== R tutorial ==
I (''[[Ruben_Kubiak|Ruben]]'') know a little bit about R (basic stuff such as common plots and regression analysis) but would like to enhance my R skills. Does anybody have an interest in a R tutorial, too? Please edit this if there is more interest.

Would be interested in learning about this as well. -[[Devin_Drown|Devin]]

I would be interested as well. [[Mark_Rivera | Mark]]

I am fairly familiar with R and could probably run a tutorial... what are you all interested in learning? - Skyler

I am interesed in it too. Do you familiar with running social network analysis package in R? I want to learn more about it. [[Jiang_Wu| Jiang]]

== Python tutorial ==
I've (''also [[Ruben_Kubiak|Ruben]]'') interest in a Python tutorial. Please edit this if there is more interest.

I can give a tutorial on python and on scipy/numpy. I can also talk about coding in general, as python is both a languange which is object oriented, imperative and functional (somehow). We can use the [http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html python tutorial] itself as a reference for the part about the language, and then move to the basic concepts of the duo [http://numpy.org numpy] / [http://scipy.org scipy], which form a powerful tool to manipulate n-dimensional arrays of numbers and also talk about [http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/ ipython] (the enhanced interactive shell) and the [http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/ pylab] interface, which gives a very nice environment for interactive programming and data analysis. Since pylab has been designed to mimic MATLAB's interface (the major plotting/statistical functions work as expected in both enviroments, which saves you a lot of time if you're used to MATLAB), I can also talk a bit about MATLAB, but being not a big fan of it, it would be better if somebody else stepped in to another tutorial on that.

Leave a mark if interested! [[User:Giovanni|Giovanni]]

I'd be interested in this as well [[User: Mark | Mark]] 

I'm in. —[[User:Jreyes|Josh]]

I'm in. [[Nish_Aravamudan|Nish]]

Yes please. [[Molly_Rorick|Molly]]

Me too. [[Rory_Sayres]] [[User:Sayres|Sayres]] 23:55, 4 June 2008 (MDT)

I'd be interested in this as well [[Tanja_Gesell|Tanja]]

== Neutral models in biology ==

Already met. Big thanks to Molly!

There is an interesting [http://arxiv.org/abs/0710.4911 paper] by Cosma Shalizi of SFI about methodological problems in social sciences research in which he talks about the concept of neutral models in evolution models. I was wondering if any of the bio-people can give a tutorial on this topic as I am pretty interested in understanding the concept. [[User:Giovanni|Giovanni]]

I would be very interested in learning about neutral networks too! - Skyler

== GIS / Spatial Analysis ==

Space Matters!! Geographical information system (GIS) is a computational system (hardware + database engine) that is designed to assemble, store, update, analyze, manipulate, and display geographically referenced information (data identified by their locations).

I'm thinking about introducing some basic GIS concepts and a free GIS software known as [http://www.dpi.inpe.br/~flavia/GIS/ Terraview]. We could also explore some spatial analysis techniques (this is the best part!) using Terraview and [http://www.geoda.uiuc.edu/downloadin.php GeoDa] (also free!).

Please edit here if you are interested or send me an email. [mailto:flafeitosa@gmail.com Flávia]

Update! It has been scheduled on Friday, June 13 from 1:30 p.m. - 2:45 p.m.

I'm in [[Walter_Zesk|Walt]] 
I'd do this. —[[User:Jreyes|Josh]] 
let me know, I'm in, Sonja 
Me too. —[[User:Lfriedl|Lisa]] 
Can not wait for this! Rio

== Statistical Physics for Non-Physicists ==
Problem: Textbooks about this are written for physicists.
Solution: A Physicist (or mathematician) that would be so kind and spend few minutes (or maybe hours) to explain all that stuff to people like me(Petr):-)

[[Ruben_Kubiak|Ruben]]: Do you seek for a general introduction or something specific?

A crash course in Statistical Physics would be awesome. Let us know. — [[User:cyepez|Carlos]]

I am interested too. (Soumya)

Me too. (Jean)

Interested! [[User:Giovanni|Giovanni]]

Ditto - Skyler

Me too. —[[User:Lfriedl|Lisa]] 

I'd be willing to run such a tutorial. However, I would have to consult with some/all of the interested parties to find out what kind of statphys you want to learn about. There are a huge number of possible topics, one could start with basics like ensembles, or perhaps people are interested in master equation and other non-equilibrium techniques, or maybe critical phenomena is what people are interested in. I really do not know. (Orion)

Can you give us who are not physicists an introduction about a kind of special questions that you will think it from the viewpoint of physicists? Like complex network, dynamic, also something else, what is the most important measurement and dynamic process you want to observe? -[[Jiang_Wu|Jiang]]

== Modern Logic and Reasoning ==
Like I mentioned in the 'ice-breaking', I could tell something about application of modern logic into human reasoning. It's a very board topic, and very new. Criticisms are welcome and needed. I would give some basic examples. On top of that, I would also say some development of logic, and how I found it useful in research, which might seem un-related to logic, esp. in social science. I am planning to give a 15 to 20 minutes presentation, UNLESS people want to hear more, in that case, please let me know.
QiQi

I'm interested! [[Kathleen_Sprouffske|Kathleen]] 
Me too! [[kolbjorn|Kolbjørn]] 
Sign me up. — [[User:Jreyes|Josh]] 
I'm interested too! (Flavia) 
I'm in! [[Srideep_Musuvathy|srideep]] 
I'm in too [[User:Giovanni|Giovanni]] 
Count me in - Skyler 
I'd be interested in this as well. [[Tanja_Gesell|Tanja]]

Please remind by email or somhow.. and sign me up! [[User:sonotto|Sonja]]

I am in Qi, But where? Rio

Update! Time at June 10th, 03.15 p.m. - 03.35 p.m.
[[CSSS 2008 Santa Fe-Schedule]]

== Introduction to the Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments ==
How do you find "interesting" behavior when your computer model is too slow or the inputs are too many to try every possible combination? Using an Arctic sea ice simulator example, I will show you how modern statistical methods can help you explore your virtual world more efficiently. Check out this brief
[http://www.stat.sfu.ca/~dbingham/NICDS_CompExpt/research.html overview] or a more technical paper about
[http://www.schonlau.net/publication/jogo98.pdf global optimization].
Time permitting we could also touch on some of the statistical concepts involved, e.g. cross-validation, maximum likelihood estimation, or Bayesian statistics.
[[B%C3%A9la_Nagy|Béla]]

== Genomics / Central dogma overview ==
It seems like some of you might be interested in an overview of the central dogma of molecular biology to non-biologists. This could be an 1h tutorial on the major actors of gene expression: nucleus, chromosomes, chromatine, DNA, RNA (tRNA, mRNA), proteins, polymerases, ribosomes, transcription factors, and eventually a quick intro to small, non-coding RNAs as a bonus. Although being a bioinformatician by training, I'm happy to leave the way if a "hard core" biologist wants to do this tutorial (Molly ?). Edit if interested! Jean

I'd be happy to attend a tutorial in 'genomics for idiots' -- Laura

Me too. I am also interested in metagenomics if this is not too much of course. -- Francois

I'd like to go to a 'genomics for idiots' tutorial as well. -- [[Srideep_Musuavthy|srideep]]

Ok, so I'll prepare some slides. How about Monday 9th, 5p - 6p (location TBA) ? -- Jean

== Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning ==
I (Nish) could introduce some of the basic methods in AI/ML. If there is significant interest in the two fields separately, I could do two tutorials. Would probably focus on the higher level, rather than the nitty-gritty details, as well as applications of the methods to real problems. I'm not necessarily an expert, although have a fair amount of experience in the area, so I would prefer a more interactive session, where questions can be answered by everyone.

Sign me up. — [[User:cyepez|Carlos]] 
I'm also interested. -[[Sarah_Cobey|Sarah]] 
Me too! [[Flavia_Feitosa|Flávia]]

How about "AI/MI for dummies", Nish? I've been wondering about it.... Rio

== A Crash Course to Classical and Evolutionary Game Theory ==
Game theory is the study of interactive decision making. Classical game theory aims to develop a general theory to describe how rational agents interact strategically. In many cases humans lack the kind of infinite computational power and time assumed by classical game theory. In the early 1970s the biologist John Maynard Smith introduced evolutionary methods to the field, dispensing with the assumption of hyper-rationality while changing many of the concepts central to the field along the way. The result was evolutionary game theory. This new framework has been used to model the behavior of fundamentally non-rational players (such as viruses) as well as humans.

In this tutorial, I'd try to introduce the basic concepts in both of these fields, namely, the definition of a game, payoffs, the Nash equilibirum and evolutionarily stable strategies, the replicator dynamics. I'll briefly mention the three basic classes of two-strategy games represented by the Prisoner's Dilemma, the Snowdrift Game (sometimes called the Hawk-Dove game or Chicken), and the Stag Hunt Game. Depending on particular interests of the group, we could prove the Bishop-Cannings theorem and give a classification of all symmetric two-strategy games; or look at updating methods and spatial chaos; reputation and image scoring; rock-paper-scissors in biological systems; or evolutionary branching and specialization.

If there's something else you'd like to know about EGT, shoot me ([mailto:joshua.reyes@removeme.gmail.com Josh]) an email, and I'll see if I can dig up something I know on your topic. I'm not going to require any fancy mathematical background. If you've seen a 2×2 matrix before, great. Otherwise, it's not a big deal. We won't multiply them or calculate their eigenvalues. They'll just serve as a means for bookkeeping.

Update! Some of us are also thinking about setting up a [[CSSS_2008_Santa_Fe-Projects_%26_Working_Groups#Evolutionary_Game_Theory|working group]] as well.

 Update 2! This has been scheduled on Friday from 3 - 5, location TBD.

== Resilience of social-ecological systems ==
The resilience perspective is increasingly used as an approach for understanding the dynamics of social–ecological systems. Essential for the resilience perspective is the recognition that living systems are not in equilibrium but rather in a domain of attraction.
Many dynamic systems, however, have multiple domains of attraction. Moreover, self-organizing processes can create or change the shape and depth of this domain of attraction. Within the resilience perspective, new pathways of sustainable development can be represented by crossing a threshold from a domain of attraction and/or by creating new domains. Resilience is a measure of how much change or disruption is required to transform a system from being maintained by one set of mutually reinforcing processes and structures to a different set of processes and structures.
If you are interested we (Mike and Dirk) can introduce you to some of the insights developed by the [http://www.resalliance.org/1.php resiliance alliance] and the challenges we face in understanding these kind of systems.

I am interested in this too. Richard

Very interested, any idea of when you will do it? [[Walter_Zesk|Walt]]

I'm interested as well. Steve

I'm interested too. - Skyler

I think to contribute from my previous work on SES. Rio

== Introduction to classical control theory ==
I (Srideep) can offer a 'quick' tutorial on control theory/control systems. This is will be a simple introduction to the motivation, basic ideas, issues and jargon in the field. If you are interested, please let me know about your background in linear algebra, complex analysis and calculus. Depending on the background, I might spend more or less time introducing the field.

Ideally, if you know what eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix are, what a pole of a complex function is and how the solution of a linear differential equation looks like, you are ready to jump right into controls. If the words above don't mean much at all, then we can run a quick 'review' of what they mean intuitively.
you can sign up here or send me an email [mailto:srideep.musuvathy@gmail.com srideep]

Update! Lets plan on discussing this early next week. Will fix up a time by the end of this week. Liz bradley will be done with her introduction to dynamics and the eigenvalue, eigenvector tutorial will be done this friday. This will make my life easier! :-)

I'd be very interested in this tutorial. I think I'm basically OK on the prerequisites,
but I wouldn't be annoyed by a review. Perhaps Monday? -- Laura

I'm in too. I guess I should be ok on linear algebra, calculus and linear ODEs, but I don't know what the pole of a complex function is. Jean

I'm in. If we can start with 'pole' thing, that would be wonderful. - Masayoshi

Hi Srideep, please put me in this group. About my background on the subjects you asked; zero!!! Sorry. Rio

Definitely interested in this. - Jacob

I'm in. Paul

Looks cool. -[[Sarah_Cobey|Sarah]]

== Topology/algebra ==
I (Srideep) will also be happy to talk about topology, introducing the concepts of point-set topology. The language of modern mathematics is enshrined in the concepts of point-set topology. I can also talk about group theory and introduce abstract algebra to those interested. In my opinion, it is the most powerful gateway into abstract thinking. sign here or email me [mailto:srideep.musuvathy@gmail.com srideep]

I'd be very interested in that. Jean

I'd be interested to see what you cover in the topology section. Algebra, however, is for the birds :) Paul

Srideep, can you do an introduction to category theory? Or would you be interested in co-organizing a tutorial with me? - Jacob

I'm very interested. Abby

== Eigenvalues - what are they and how to find them? ==
I (Kolbjørn) can put together a brief and elementary introduction to eigenvalues and eigenvectors if anyone have an urge for this. Sign up or e-mail and we'll schedule something. [mailto:kolbjorn@chalmers.se Kolbjørn]

UPDATE! Time: Friday June 6th, 01.00 p.m. - 03.00 p.m. If this collides with other stuff, please yell out! [[CSSS 2008 Santa Fe-Schedule]]

Yes please. [[Kathleen_Sprouffske|Kathleen]]

I am also very interested [[Walter_Zesk|Walt]]

== How your computer works ==

Nish and Laura can give a joint tutorial on 'how your computer works'. What happens when I type 'www.santafe.edu' in my browser? How does a web server at santafe.edu handle all those incoming requests? What happens when I use a WiFi access point? Basically, we'd be happy to take your questions about how your computer works and do our best to answer them - we're also happy to have other co-tutors.

Let us know if there's interest [mailto:lmfeeney@sics.se Laura], we'd probably schedule later next week, to not conflict with tutorials that focus on maths and other project prerequisites.

== How your hardware works ==
Along the same lines as the computer tutorial, I've found myself discussing hardware with a number of folks. And why hardware matters from a massive parallelism perspective (which is quite common in the complex research areas I've encountered). If folks are interested, I can give a rough overview of the way hardware works in different types of computers and supercomputers (as much as I understand of it) as well as how to best leverage that knowledge.

== Computational Physics for Non-physicists or A small introduction into Applied Physics ==

I've seen that many people are interested in physics. I could give an introduction to "computational" physics - this means physics with a PC. Actually, it is very broad and gives some basics for simulations (interesting for all simulation-folks):

- What is a 'random number generator' and why should I know something about it?

- What are Master-equations?

- The Ising-model / Voter-model

- The Central Limit Theorem or why does it make sense to average over multiple runs of a simulation?

- ...

[[Ruben Kubiak|Ruben]]

I'm very interested [[Nish_Aravamudan|Nish]]

I'm in too. [[Jiang_Wu|Jiang]]

[[Srideep_Musuvathy|srideep]] is in.
Sounds great. [[Molly_Rorick|Molly]]

==Information Theory==
An open discussion of Shannon information theory (would like some help in presenting this part clearly) and then some newer results from its application to cellular automata (and potentially other complex systems).

Interesting. I remember something from the master course I took. [[User:Giovanni|Giovanni]] 
I'd love to participate. -[[Sarah_Cobey|Sarah]] 
I'm interested.[[Holger_Keeler|Paul]] 
I'm in. --[[User:Lfriedl|Lisa]]

==Cellular Automata==
CAs (particularly ECAs) are a very interested model of computation. How do 8 rules (ECA 110, e.g.) emulate a Turing Machine? Why is that interesting? What can we learn about what defines computation given CAs? Maybe we can also discuss some simple computational (Turing) theory.

==A little analytical tool-box: Non-linear dynamics, ODEs, PDEs...==
The [[David_Foster|brothers]] [[Jacob_Foster|Foster]] would be happy to offer some tutorials on analytical methods. Depending on what Alfred Hubler covers, we can do some fraction of Strogatz (flows on the line & circle, bifurcations, maybe linear systems, index theorem, etc.), as well as offering a basic introduction to solving linear ODEs (no theorems, just techniques) and simple PDEs like the heat equation, with boundary conditions. Ideally this would come after Kolbjørn's eigen-stuff course, so we can just assume familiarity with that.

These are fun topics! I never get enough of them! -- [[Srideep_Musuvathy|srideep]] 
Sounds great. [[Molly_Rorick|Molly]] 
Interesting -- sure. [[User:Lfriedl|Lisa]] 
Very useful! [[Kathleen_Sprouffske|Kathleen]] 
Need this.... Rio

==Linguistics==
Can someone (I don't know [[Peter_Graff|who]]) perhaps offer a tutorial on basic linguistics stuff? I am particularly interested in generative grammar and coverage of the Chomsky "Three Models" paper, but maybe there are more interesting topics to be discussed these days... -Jacob

== Open Source research software ==

Open (no pun intended...) your eyes to the wonderful world of FOSS -- Free and Open Source Software. While the distinction between Free and Open Source is a very interesting one (and highly contentious in the right crowds), for research purposes, we want to use the best tools for the job but some of us suffer from limited income, so I would like to talk about both. At the same time, FOSS is great to use for a non-economic reason: if you find bugs, or design extensions, you can fix them yourself (in OSS, at least) or at least report the problem back to a typically active community. Some potential tools to discuss/explore: R, Octave, Scilab, Gnuplot, perhaps some of the more useful languages in the field like Python and perhaps others I don't know as much about (a quick `apt-cache` on my Ubuntu Hardy install shows RasMol, ClustalW, SeaView, Achilles, complearn, EMBOSS, GENESIS, etc...)

- I would like to give a "Brazilian" contribution. Those who are interested in GIS&Cia could have a look at [http://www.dpi.inpe.br/gilberto/software.html Free and Open Source GIS Source].
[[Flavia_Feitosa|Flavia]]

I would be happy to contribute a little bit about freely available simulation environments like ns-2 (computer networks) and omnet++ (a generic DES) -- Laura

- For Python I can offer a tutorial (see below). Nish, do you have any experience with [http://www.sagemath.org/ Sage]? [[User:Giovanni|Giovanni]]

All great ideas and I would love to have more of a "You know how to use this tool or you know of this tool, you talk about it" style of tutorial :)
Maybe we can do a general OSS tutorial/discussion and then transition to specific sub-topics in separate tutorials (Python, GIS, networks, etc)?
I've not used Sage, before, but I'm happy to take a look before the tutorial. Thanks for the info, Giovanni!

 
I'd like to learn more about open software. [[Holger_Keeler| Paul]]

== R tutorial ==
I (''[[Ruben_Kubiak|Ruben]]'') know a little bit about R (basic stuff such as common plots and regression analysis) but would like to enhance my R skills. Does anybody have an interest in a R tutorial, too? Please edit this if there is more interest.

Would be interested in learning about this as well. -[[Devin_Drown|Devin]]

I would be interested as well. [[Mark_Rivera | Mark]]

I am fairly familiar with R and could probably run a tutorial... what are you all interested in learning? - Skyler

I am interesed in it too. Do you familiar with running social network analysis package in R? I want to learn more about it. [[Jiang_Wu| Jiang]]

== Python tutorial ==
I've (''also [[Ruben_Kubiak|Ruben]]'') interest in a Python tutorial. Please edit this if there is more interest.

I can give a tutorial on python and on scipy/numpy. I can also talk about coding in general, as python is both a languange which is object oriented, imperative and functional (somehow). We can use the [http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html python tutorial] itself as a reference for the part about the language, and then move to the basic concepts of the duo [http://numpy.org numpy] / [http://scipy.org scipy], which form a powerful tool to manipulate n-dimensional arrays of numbers and also talk about [http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/ ipython] (the enhanced interactive shell) and the [http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/ pylab] interface, which gives a very nice environment for interactive programming and data analysis. Since pylab has been designed to mimic MATLAB's interface (the major plotting/statistical functions work as expected in both enviroments, which saves you a lot of time if you're used to MATLAB), I can also talk a bit about MATLAB, but being not a big fan of it, it would be better if somebody else stepped in to another tutorial on that.

Leave a mark if interested! [[User:Giovanni|Giovanni]]

I'd be interested in this as well [[User: Mark | Mark]]

== Neutral models in biology ==

Already met. Big thanks to Molly!

There is an interesting [http://arxiv.org/abs/0710.4911 paper] by Cosma Shalizi of SFI about methodological problems in social sciences research in which he talks about the concept of neutral models in evolution models. I was wondering if any of the bio-people can give a tutorial on this topic as I am pretty interested in understanding the concept. [[User:Giovanni|Giovanni]]

I would be very interested in learning about neutral networks too! - Skyler

== GIS / Spatial Analysis ==

Space Matters!! Geographical information system (GIS) is a computational system (hardware + database engine) that is designed to assemble, store, update, analyze, manipulate, and display geographically referenced information (data identified by their locations).

I'm thinking about introducing some basic GIS concepts and a free GIS software known as [http://www.dpi.inpe.br/~flavia/GIS/ Terraview]. We could also explore some spatial analysis techniques (this is the best part!) using Terraview and [http://www.geoda.uiuc.edu/downloadin.php GeoDa] (also free!).

Please edit here if you are interested or send me an email. [mailto:flafeitosa@gmail.com Flávia]

Update! It has been scheduled on Friday, June 13 from 1:30 p.m. - 2:45 p.m.

== Statistical Physics for Non-Physicists ==
Problem: Textbooks about this are written for physicists.
Solution: A Physicist (or mathematician) that would be so kind and spend few minutes (or maybe hours) to explain all that stuff to people like me(Petr):-)

[[Ruben_Kubiak|Ruben]]: Do you seek for a general introduction or something specific?

A crash course in Statistical Physics would be awesome. Let us know. — [[User:cyepez|Carlos]]

I am interested too. (Soumya)

Me too. (Jean)

Interested! [[User:Giovanni|Giovanni]]

Ditto - Skyler

Me too. —[[User:Lfriedl|Lisa]] 

I'd be willing to run such a tutorial. However, I would have to consult with some/all of the interested parties to find out what kind of statphys you want to learn about. There are a huge number of possible topics, one could start with basics like ensembles, or perhaps people are interested in master equation and other non-equilibrium techniques, or maybe critical phenomena is what people are interested in. I really do not know. (Orion)

Can you give us who are not physicists an introduction about a kind of special questions that you will think it from the viewpoint of physicists? Like complex network, dynamic, also something else, what is the most important measurement and dynamic process you want to observe? -[[Jiang_Wu|Jiang]]

== Modern Logic and Reasoning ==
Like I mentioned in the 'ice-breaking', I could tell something about application of modern logic into human reasoning. It's a very board topic, and very new. Criticisms are welcome and needed. I would give some basic examples. On top of that, I would also say some development of logic, and how I found it useful in research, which might seem un-related to logic, esp. in social science. I am planning to give a 15 to 20 minutes presentation, UNLESS people want to hear more, in that case, please let me know.

== Introduction to the Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments ==
How do you find "interesting" behavior when your computer model is too slow or the inputs are too many to try every possible combination? Using an Arctic sea ice simulator example, I will show you how modern statistical methods can help you explore your virtual world more efficiently. Check out this brief
[http://www.stat.sfu.ca/~dbingham/NICDS_CompExpt/research.html overview] or a more technical paper about
[http://www.schonlau.net/publication/jogo98.pdf global optimization].
Time permitting we could also touch on some of the statistical concepts involved, e.g. cross-validation, maximum likelihood estimation, or Bayesian statistics.
[[B%C3%A9la_Nagy|Béla]]

== Genomics / Central dogma overview ==
It seems like some of you might be interested in an overview of the central dogma of molecular biology to non-biologists. This could be an 1h tutorial on the major actors of gene expression: nucleus, chromosomes, chromatine, DNA, RNA (tRNA, mRNA), proteins, polymerases, ribosomes, transcription factors, and eventually a quick intro to small, non-coding RNAs as a bonus. Although being a bioinformatician by training, I'm happy to leave the way if a "hard core" biologist wants to do this tutorial (Molly ?). Edit if interested! Jean

I'd be happy to attend a tutorial in 'genomics for idiots' -- Laura

CAs (particularly ECAs) are a very interested model of computation. How do 8 rules (ECA 110, e.g.) emulate a Turing Machine? Why is that interesting? What can we learn about what defines computation given CAs? Maybe we can also discuss some simple computational (Turing) theory.

==A little analytical tool-box: Non-linear dynamics, ODEs, PDEs...==
The [[David_Foster|brothers]] [[Jacob_Foster|Foster]] would be happy to offer some tutorials on analytical methods. Depending on what Alfred Hubler covers, we can do some fraction of Strogatz (flows on the line & circle, bifurcations, maybe linear systems, index theorem, etc.), as well as offering a basic introduction to solving linear ODEs (no theorems, just techniques) and simple PDEs like the heat equation, with boundary conditions. Ideally this would come after Kolbjørn's eigen-stuff course, so we can just assume familiarity with that.

These are fun topics! I never get enough of them! -- [[Srideep_Musuvathy|srideep]] 
Sounds great. [[Molly_Rorick|Molly]] 
Interesting -- sure. [[User:Lfriedl|Lisa]]

Need this.... Rio

==Linguistics==
Can someone (I don't know [[Peter_Graff|who]]) perhaps offer a tutorial on basic linguistics stuff? I am particularly interested in generative grammar and coverage of the Chomsky "Three Models" paper, but maybe there are more interesting topics to be discussed these days... -Jacob

Hi there !
I'm a grad student in the RNA regulatory networks group at the Biozentrum, Universität Basel (Switzerland). Before that, I did a masters of engineering in bioinformatics. My current project is about computational predictions of miRNA targets. But so... what are miRNA and why do they have targets? If you want to know, it's likely you'll find some answers on the [http://www.mirz.unibas.ch/ lab's website].

'''What are your main interests?'''
My main interest is modelling biological networks with scientific or engineering ends.
More specifically, I'm focusing on RNA regulatory networks.

'''What sorts of expertise can you bring to the group?'''
Some knowledge in genomics and some experience with statistical data analysis of
biological data.

'''What do you hope to get out of the CSSS?'''
A better global understanding and familiarity with the field of complex systems, as well
as hands-on experience with (dynamical or probabilistic) modelling of such systems.
Finally, I hope to hear about their applications to different domains (engineering,
biology, social sciences, ...).

'''Do you have any possible projects in mind for the CSSS?'''
Nothing concrete yet, but I'll think about it and try to come up with something before
the school starts.

Hi there !

I'm a grad student in the RNA regulatory networks group at Biozentrum, Universität Basel (Switzerland). My current project is about predicting miRNA targets.

1. What are your main interests? Feel free to include a "pie in the sky" big idea!

My main interest is modelling biological networks with scientific or engineering ends.
More specifically, I'm focusing on RNA regulatory networks.

2. What sorts of expertise can you bring to the group?

Some knowledge in genomics and some experience with statistical data analysis of
biological data.

3. What do you hope to get out of the CSSS?

A better global understanding and familiarity with the field of complex systems, as well
as hands-on experience with (dynamical or probabilistic) modelling of such systems.
Finally, I hope to hear about their applications to different domains (engineering,
biology, social sciences, ...).

4. Do you have any possible projects in mind for the CSSS? (Recall that you will all be
working in groups on at least one project with the goal of presenting your progress on
the last day and finishing up a paper by sumer's end.)

Nothing concrete yet, but I'll think about it and try to come up with something before
the school starts.
