The Columbia Basin Research (CBR), a research unit of the School of Aquatic & Fishery Sciences, Quantitative Ecology & Resource Management Program (QERM) at the University of Washington, and the Swarm Development Group are pleased to announce SwarmFest 2002, the sixth annual Swarm users meeting.
At SwarmFest 2002, scientists, modellers, and programmers working in a wide variety of domains get the opportunity to share their knowledge and experience with multi-agent modelling including (but not restricted to) the Swarm simulation system. The Swarm Development Group also uses the meeting to help determine future development priorities, so come and tell us what's on your mind! The meeting is a cross section of the community, historically including content suitable for both inexperienced and experienced users.
During the conference, users will present talks including time for discussion following each presentation. Please send proposals (only a few paragraphs should be necessary) for presentations, demonstrations, break-out-sessions, or any other suggestions to swarmfest2002@swarm.org. If possible, please submit your proposals/abstracts in plaintext. To ensure that your proposal has full consideration, please submit your proposals by February 15th, however, later submittals may be considered only as the schedule allows. We will be publishing the SwarmFest 2002 proceedings. Please be prepared to submit your abstracts and papers in electronic form!
SwarmFest 2002 will commence with a reception on Friday March 29th, 2002 from 6:15 to 7:00 pm in the Walker Ames Room of Kane Hall, University of Washington. Dinner will follow immediately after the reception.
The meeting, proper, will be on Saturday March 30th and Sunday March 31st 2002, in the Mary Gates Hall (Room 241) at the University of Washington.
