This year's annual UM-SFI meeting will be held in honor of Rick Riolo. Rick, as you all know, has been a central person in CSCS for more than three decades, and much of his research has been in the area of interdisciplinary modeling. The core faculty of CSCS thought it appropriate to organize this year's conference on a theme that's at the core of so much of Rick's research: what's a good computational model? The conference will include panels on small models used to drive insights, models linked to data, and large, more realistic models, as well as a discussion on the philosophy of modeling.
The current list of speakers includes Jim Wilson, Elizabeth Bruch, Robert Savit, Jim Johnson, David Strang, Ravi Bhavnani, William Rand, Ross Hammond, Carl Simon, Patrick Grim and Bob Axelrod.
UM-SFI is an annual meeting co-hosted by the Center for the Study of Complex Systems at the University of Michigan and the Sante Fe Institute
