Use of Simulation in Research
Simulation is a helpful tool for researchers who are interested in gaining a better understanding of processes and mechanisms – particularly when the phenomena under study are complex. In this presentation, Ayaz Hyder and Rebecca Garabed will introduce the basic theory and application of simulation, including systems thinking and agent-based models, to communicable and non-communicable infectious disease and other complex processes. Participants will have the opportunity to apply what they learn by doing guided, hands-on simulation using the free software NetLogo 6.0.1.
