[Swarm-Modelling] Upcoming short courses on using and teaching agent/individual-based models

[Steve Railsback]

Here are two short courses being offered this summer. The instructors of 
both courses are primarily ecologists, but the classes are 
inter-disciplinary and we hope to have participants from diverse 
backgrounds.

Steve Railsback and Volker Grimm are again offering a one-week short 
course designed primarily (but not exclusively) to help potential 
instructors who want to develop their own university-level courses in 
agent-based or individual-based modeling. This course will be June 25-29 
at Humboldt State: http://www.humboldt.edu/ibm/

Uta Berger at Dresden University of Technology (Germany) is also again 
offering her summer course directed mainly at graduate students who want 
to use individual-based modeling in their research. This course will be 
June 7-15 in Germany:
http://www.forst.tu-dresden.de/summerschool/

Both courses make use of this new textbook on individual-based modeling:
"Agent-based and Individual-based Modeling: A Practical Introduction", 
Railsback and Grimm, 2012, Princeton University Press.
