Please find here three proposed activities for Swarmfest 2008. For
proposal 1 I can also develop a poster if that would be appropriate.
Let me know if you need the abstract edited down. I hesitate to
include the third, but it does seem very relevant to the conference
focus.

Proposal 1: (~40 minutes)
"metaABM: Coordinating Complexity"
Over the last decade, we've developed a strong understanding of how to
represent Agent Based Models. At the same time, powerful new Model
Driven Software Development tools have emerged. It is time to move to
a higher level of representation for ABMs. metaABM defines and
supports a new architecture for designing, sharing and executing ABMs
and includes graphical, easy to use tools for model development and
powerful code generators for Simphony and Ascape implementations, with
more to come. metaABM seeks to address a critical need for a common
hub enabling developers of ABM tools to collaborate rather than
compete, and allowing researchers to exchange and compose models. It
inherently and transparently enables model generalization and
inference and high-performance, scalable applications. We'll discuss
all of this, give a demo of metaABM capabilities, and provide a sneak-
preview of upcoming related technologies.
Proposal 2: (~1-2 hours, following conference)
"metaABM Tutorial"
It is impossible to really understand a tool without getting a look
under the hood. We'll provide a detailed tour of the metaABM toolset
while creating a working customizable model within an hour or two.
Participants can bring or plan to share a relatively recent computer
with a CD drive and wireless connection. No Java experience is
required, though some familiarity with the Eclipse Development
Environment would be very helpful.
Proposal 3: (10-15 minutes)
"Chemoscape: Signal Transduction in Bacterial Chemotaxis"
Chemoscape seeks to demonstrate the general potential of Agent-Based
Models for exploring signal gain and the role of receptor type and
cooperation in response to environment. Agents represent cytoplasmic
proteins within E. Coli cells, each governed by a set of rules
representing current biological knowledge about protein roles and
interactions. We have observed properties matching observed
processes, including adaptation, high signal gain, and wide dynamic
range. As the presenter is not a biomedical researcher, we'll focus on
software and methodological issues that have motivated and enabled
this research.
