Hello to everyone,

Thank you very much Robert for your very efficient work for this paper. I would like also to thanks Jacob for his invitation and his nice organization for this conference.

Subject: Re: [Population Modeling] How about another collaborative review paper by group members?

Greetings to all collaborators,

Robert Smith? in a great demonstration of editing capability was able to assemble the collaborative paper within one night, Believe me this is not easy for considering there are 18 authors.

First, I suggest all collaborators thank him personally for his effort here. There are 18 people in the paper and he knows much about what you do - he visited your web pages for the paper so I suggest you repay him the same gesture and learn what he does better so you can retell it to others - just like he can tell about your work now.

Anyway, the paper was posted for SummerSim and I will handle its review - if you have suggestions for reviewers, please send them via personal email my way.

Meanwhile, before external reviewers, I suggest each one of the authors listed below looks at the paper draft and checks his section for accuracy including name spelling and affiliation - much text was changed to fit it into one paper - so expect changes. Unless there is an error, I suggest you request no changes until we get the reviews - unless it is extremely important in which case be mindful of Robert's time. If there are errors - please report those and they will be taken care of in the next revision after external reviewers file their review.

Here is a link to the draft paper submitted:

Greetings again to all collaborators,

Robert Smith? has volunteered to take over editing the paper.

I just passed him the draft.

All communications about the collaborative paper should be passed to him from now on.

Thanks Robert.

Greeting to all those who introduced themselves to the group,

When many of you joined the group you introduced yourselves and how you are related to population modeling.

Last year we published a review paper by collection around 20 of our introductions together into a paper that covers population modeling by examples. Here is a link to the paper:

Population Modeling Workgroup, Population Modeling by Examples (WIP) - SpringSim 2015 , April 12 - 15, Alexandria, VA, USA. Paper: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2887741&CFID=764108956&CFTOKEN=12623832
Also on: https://simtk.org/docman/view.php/962/1892/PopModExample_Submit_2015_03_04.doc   Presentation: https://simtk.org/docman/view.php/962/1897/SpringSim2015PopMod_Upload_2015_04_10.pptx

Many new people introduced themselves and did not participate in that paper. I was wondering if we can assemble enough population modeling examples for another such review paper - perhaps title it: "More Population Modeling by Examples"

I went through our archives and pulled the following introductions:

  1.  Neda Laiteerapong: https://simtk.org/pipermail/popmodwkgrpimag-news/2015-January/000030.html

  2.  Aristides Moustakas https://simtk.org/pipermail/popmodwkgrpimag-news/2015-January/000055.html

  3.  Romualdo Santos: https://simtk.org/pipermail/popmodwkgrpimag-news/2015-January/000057.html

  4.  Nieko Punt: https://simtk.org/pipermail/popmodwkgrpimag-news/2015-February/000087.html

  14. Jeljer Hoekstra: https://simtk.org/pipermail/popmodwkgrpimag-news/2016-January/000173.html

  15. Robin Gras: https://simtk.org/pipermail/popmodwkgrpimag-news/2016-March/000194.html

Apologies if I missed an introduction, it is a long unstructured list.

If everyone on the list agrees to participate, we have enough for another review paper like the last one. Participation in such a paper does not take much effort and it will benefit the group and the participants.

At this point, I will try a count. Whoever is interested in such a paper, please send me an email or respond to the list so we can assess if we can go ahead with a paper now or have to wait for more people to join.

Also, if participants from the previous paper have new examples of population modeling, please submit those to the list so we can consider those for the review paper.

And please feel free to invite other population modelers to introduce themselves and join the list of introductions.

Hopefully enough of you will be interested to allow assembling such a paper.

                   Jacob
