4 papers of the MoSi Group have been accepted at the Winter Simulation Conference to take place in Orlando, Florida.
The paper Modelling Migration: Decisions, Processes and Outcomes presents and discusses the process of developing a migration model as part of the European Research Council (ERC) research project Bayesian Agent-Based Population Studies: Transforming simulation models of human migration (BAPS) and is authored by Jakub Bijak, Philip Higham, Jason Hilton, Martin Hinsch, Sarah Nurse, Toby Prike, Oliver Reinhardt, Peter WF Smith, Adelinde Uhrmacher.
In the paper Conceptual Models in Simulation Studies: Making it Explicit, Pia Wilsdorf, Fiete Haack and AdelindeUhrmacher aim at a unifying approach of conceptual models, the research presents a synergy of the DFG project Towards Generating and Executing Automatically Simulation Experiments (GrEASE) and the Collaborative Research Centre 1270 Electrically Active Implants (CRC ELAINE).
Also a cooperation of the DFG project GrEASE and the CRC ELAINE has been the basis of the research on Pragmatic Logic-based Spatio-temporal Pattern Checking in Particle-based Models by Andreas Ruscheinski, Anja Wolpers, Philipp Henning, Tom Warnke, Fiete Haack, Adelinde Uhrmacher, which bridges the gap between simulation in continuous space and discrete spatio-temporal model checking.
Finally, the paper Performance and Soundness of Simulation: A Case Study based on a Cellular Automaton for In-Body Spread of HIV by Till Köster, Philippe Giabbanelli (University of Miami) and Adelinde Uhrmacher illustrates as part of the DFG project Efficient Simulation of Cell-Biological Multi-Level Models (ESCeMMo) that efficiency is important but not everything when it comes to designing simulation algorithms.
