TITLE: TRANSIMS and EpiSims: Two examples of large-scale Social Network
Simulation Systems

SPEAKER: Douglas Roberts
AFFILIATION: LANL, retired; Raven Consulting, Inc.

TIME: Wed Aug 17,  ** 11:00a **
LOCATION: 624 Agua Fria Conference Room

ABSTRACT
In 1990, work began at LANL to develop a new population mobility / social
network simulation capability. Now, 15 years later several software products
have been successfully fielded.  Two that I will discuss in this presentation
are TRANSIMS (TRANSportation SIMulation  System) and EpiSims (Epidemiology
Simulation System).  I will give a brief introduction about the simulation
methodologies used by these systems, and will describe the computational
platforms that they are fielded on.
