[Population Modeling] Population Modelling by Examples II

[Jacob Barhak]

Greetings Population modelers,

Robert Smith? gave a very nice presentation of the paper we assembled in
SummerSim last week.

There was a vibrant discussion after the presentation which was accepted
nicely by attendees.

Here is a link to the presentation file that was presented last week:
https://simtk.org/docman/view.php/962/1988/PopulationModellingByExamplesII_SummerSim_2016.pdf

Please feel to reuse any of the slides for educational purposes.
Contributors were asked to contribute material under Creative Commons to
facilitate reuse of the slides.

Feel free to contact Robert Smith? to get the slides in a file format other
than pdf.

I will let you all know when the formatted paper is published in he ACM
digital library, which will officially register it in publication systems,
meanwhile you can access the last version in using this link:
https://simtk.org/docman/view.php/962/1963/SummerSim_2016_PopMod_Submit_2016_05_15_Robert_Smith.pdf

Thanks again for all the contributors to the paper this year and to the
reviewers who helped define our map of examples.

The intention is to attempt another such paper for next year. If you have
not participated in an examples paper and wish to do so, please let me
know. Also, please redirect potentially interested parties to contact
me so we can start organizing it ahead of time this year. And if anyone is
interested in editing the paper next year paper, please step forward.
Hopefully we can assemble a set of example that will improve the map of
examples that we introduced this year.

                 Jacob
