A lot of literature has been ded icated to determining the relationship between com puter simulation, experiments or theories as the c lassical sources of knowledge. This relation is bo th methodologically and technically complex. On th e one hand, it is difficult for philosophers, soci al scientists, and historians to gain detailed ins ight into the methods used among practitioners. On the other hand, for computer scientists and pract itioners in general, the methodological limitation s and design constraints that simulation technique s impose on hypothesis formulation and testing may not be obvious. The summer school addresses these problems by offering lectures and tutorials on co mputer simulation methods for scholars from the hu manities, social sciences, and computer science. The morning sessions will include lectures by facu lty members, focusing on the philosophical, method ological, and technical aspects of different simul ation techniques (including numerical methods, sof tware techniques, visualization, agent-based model ling, and computational experiments). These will b e followed by project presentations by participant s. The afternoons will be dedicated to hands-on tu torials by practitioners. Finally, in the evenings , distinguished scholars will offer lectures on th e most inspiring and exciting issues in this incre asingly important research area. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\n
The transforma tion of science through computer simulation is oft en considered to be a methodological one. A lot of literature has been dedicated to determining the relationship between computer simulation, experime nts or theories as the classical sources of knowle dge. This relation is both methodologically and te chnically complex. On the one hand, it is difficul t for philosophers, social scientists, and histori ans to gain detailed insight into the methods used among practitioners. On the other hand, for compu ter scientists and practitioners in general, the m ethodological limitations and design constraints t hat simulation techniques impose on hypothesis for mulation and testing may not be obvious. The summe r school addresses these problems by offering lect ures and tutorials on computer simulation methods for scholars from the humanities, social sciences, and computer science.
