[Population Modeling] Re: While we have your attention ...

[Dammann, Olaf]

Thanks for clarifying, Jacob.

We had discussed among a small group that having a book on PM written by all of us as a group might be a good idea to accomplish something together. Chapters should be contributed by members of this group, written about your work, from your unique PM perspective.

I volunteered as editor and as the one who puts the proposal together.

Please forward abstracts to me per previous email if you are interested.

Thanks.
Olaf

Hi Olaf, and all other contributors,

Just to clarify for everyone, Olaf wants to write a book with your contributions where each contributor can write a chapter. He is pointing towards option 3 of another publication venue other than SpringSim. And he is asking for contributions to go to his personal email to reduce traffic on the list.

Olaf, this path is still possible in conjunction with option 1 or 2 in our discussion. However,  note that you will either need new contributions or copyright release from SpringSim who publishes with ACM.

And Olaf,  do share with the group your idea in full. So far it was a private conversation some people are not aware of.

Thank you all for your quick reactions.

All,
Please send me a suggested title, authors, and abstract of 250 words max for your/your group's chapter for the book we are planning. Yes, a review of your own work is perfect as a chapter. I'd like to put the proposal together ASAP.

Please send to me only, NOT TO THE GROUP. Please put "PM chapter" in the subject line for ease of detection in the e-noise.

Thanks and best wishes,
Olaf

Hi Jacob

Option 1 is good – you could set a word limit for each contributor and ask us to edit our section

Regards

Subject: [Population Modeling] Our paper for SpringSim returned from review - we need to act

Hi All, yet especially our SpringSim paper authors,

Those of you that joined the group before 9-Jan may recall that we took the correspondence in this group and formed it into a paper that was submitted to SpringSim. Here is the paper draft submitted:

https://simtk.org/docman/view.php/962/1886/PopModExample_Submit_2015_01_09.doc

To be clear, if you introduced yourself to the group and sent references before 9-Jan and unless you specified otherwise you are an author in the paper.

The Work in Progress (WIP) editor Gregory Zacharewicz has responded to our submission. Here are his comments:

###### Relevant Response Text #######

On behalf of the SpringWIP 2015 WIP Program Committee, your paper seems promising and can have the potential to appear as Work in Progress at the conference:

     Population Modeling by Examples

Nevertheless it does not respect some of the following format constraints:

1. Title must have the mention "(WIP)"
2. Check the paper format according to the author kit
   http://www.scs.org/documents/2014%20New%20Author%20Kit.zip
3. Respect the 6 pages limitation

###### End of relevant Response Text #######

Here are 3 possible actions we can take as a group:

1. Shorten text of each contributor to be of limited size. This seems the default solution and I can take care of it with your permission.

2. Transfer the last few contributors to a new paper that will be submitted to SummerSim with new contributions collected after January 9th. We can quickly assemble such a paper to include our new members - we grew by 50% since then.

3. Decide on another publication venue that will allow a longer paper, i.e. journal, conference, book, web site, etc. - If you have ideas, please suggest.

At this point, I would like to know what the group thinks. I would ask paper contributors to briefly respond to the list before Monday February 22.

Also, if you plan to attend SpringSim in April in Virginia please let me know. I would appreciate help in presentation.

             Jacob
