SUMMARY:Summer School on computer simulation metho
 ds, Stuttgart, Germany
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170925
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170929
LOCATION:Stuttgart, Germany
DESCRIPTION:The transformation of science through 
 computer simulation is often considered to be a me
 thodological one. 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  <p>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

 r school addresses these problems by offering lect
