** today - All Hallows Eve Day ** Stephen Guerin Owen Densmore Redfish Group
TITLE: Chasing the Pipedream: an informal chat on near-future agent-based modeling and visualization toolsets LOCATION: Redfish Conference Room, 624 Agua Fria Street, Santa Fe NM TIME: Wednesday, October 31, 12:30p Lunch will be available for purchase for $5 ABSTRACT: We will demonstrate some recent projects at the intersection of agent-based modeling, GIS, 3D animation and game design. While mature tools exist for each of these spaces, there remains a frustrating lack of integration. We will discuss potential paths of development for an integrated toolset that allows for rapid prototyping, ease of use in education settings, acceptable performance for real-time visualization and robust editing capabilities. David Beining, Tom Caudell, Jack Ox, Hue Walker and Eric Whitmore of UNM ARTSLab <http://artslab.unm.edu/> will be special guests and on hand to contribute their unique perspectivces. ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
