Dynamics in Networks

I am very interested in learning about network dynamics. Anyone else interested in having a tutorial on that? Regina

Cross impact balances and Markov chains

As part of brainstorming for a possible project, three of us have decided to do a tutorial on cross-impact balances (CIB) (delivered by Vanessa) and Markov chains (delivered by Alastair and Matteo). We think these methods could be leveraged to research some interesting questions. All are invited to this tutorial regardless of their interest in contributing to a project using these methods. This tutorial will be Wed. June 5th at ~4:00 PM (it looks like the regular schedule is subject to change; maybe we'll do the tutorial at 4:15 instead). Location TBD (check back on the wiki for an update). -- Vanessa
PS -- For those interested in examples of studies that have used CIB analysis, see this one on century-long socioeconomic scenarios or this abstract on a qualitative model regarding obesity development and prevention.

Python (and MASON)

If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to organize and run/co-run a Python programming tutorial. If anyone needs agent-based models beyond what NetLogo can handle, I'd be happy to run a tutorial on the MASON framework. -- David_Masad
