Proposed Format
- This is proposed as a mix of discussion, tutorials and demonstrations.
- Maybe this will grow into a project.
Candiate Topics for Discusion
- How to express complexity to people who are not adept at some of the tools we are using in the CSSS program - differential equations, MatLab, the vocabulary of complexity and chaos, etc.
- How to express complexity in the tools of everyday business and government workers - PowerPoint, Excel, etc.
- How to engage effectively with skilled professionals (engineers, economists, accounting/finance, ...) in their vocabulary
- Are there extensions to existing, relatively widely used, modeling tools such as flow charts, data flow diagrams, UML models, etc. that can properly express complex systems?
- How do we convey the key research topics worthy of pursuit to the research sponsors and similar stakeholders?
Participants
- Brian Lawler - Proposed this topic. Lots of experience engaging multi-disciplinary (tech and non-tech) stakeholders, adept at UML/DFDs/etc.
