Description
The SAMSI program on Computational Methods in Social Sciences is built around three major themes: Social Networks; Agent-Based Modeling; and Statistical Methodology for Censuses and Surveys. The purpose of the Opening Workshop was threefold: (a) to provide a series of tutorial lectures aiming to introduce the major research themes in the field to graduate students and other newcomers to the topic; (b) a series of focused research sessions highlighting current developments, (c) the formation and initial meetings of Working Groups which will meet weekly through the year of the program.
Sunday, August 18, featured five tutorial lectures by leading participants in the field. Topics covered the three main areas of the program and the related mathematical and statistical methodology.
From Monday, August 19, through lunch on Wednesday, August 21, there were five research sessions, each consisting of two or three talks followed by discussion.
Wednesday afternoon, August 21, was devoted to the formation and initial meetings of working groups.
Thursday, August 22, was devoted to initial meetings of the working groups at SAMSI.
