NASSA at CAA 2022 Oxford
At the CAA 2022 annual meeting in Oxford, NASSA members organised two sessions. During the round-table session “Towards an open platform for computer simulations of past socioecological systems”, discussants have flipped the metaphorical table, inviting all in-person and online attendees to a live brainstorming session. But really, it was a perverse stratagem of ours to get ideas directly from the source!
Using two interactive online tools, wooclap and Mentimeter, we presented everyone with a few questions and gather answers live and digitally.
Here is a summary:
Question 1: keywords/categories
We’re creating a library of modules, intended as bricks from which you can construct your model. But how to find the module that’s right for you? If you were looking for a module to add to your ABM what kind of categories would you find useful? Write all that you can think of.
Question 2: modules
What kind of modules should each of these categories include? Use the dropdown menu to see the categories. If the model is already listed, press on the heart to vote for it. You can add as many suggestions as you want.
Question 3: instruction materials
What instruction materials would you use?
Question 4: diffusion channels
How would you inform others about the library?
The data and the source code for the plots above can be found at the dedicated repository or directly at its web version.
