Northwestern University's Center for Connected Learning and Computer-Based Modeling (CCL) in conjunction with Northwestern's Insitute on Complex Systems (NICO) is pleased to announce a three-day NetLogo workshop preceding Agent 2007. NetLogo is a powerful cross-platform, multi-agent, programmable modeling environment that follows the longstanding Logo tradition of "low threshold and high ceiling," making it possible to create complex models with a minimum of code or experience. The hands-on workshop, which will be led by members of the NetLogo development team, will begin with an introduction to NetLogo, quickly moving toward helping participants to write their own models. No previous experience with NetLogo or programming is expected.

The workshop will start the morning of November 12th and run through the afternoon on November 14th on Northwestern University's campus in Evanston, IL and will operate in association with the Agent 2007 conference. Further details on our workshop are coming soon.

We can accommodate a maximum of 20 participants in this workshop and CCL reserves the right to cancel the workshop if there is insufficient enrollment. Interested parties should send e-mail (along with name, affiliation, contact information, and e-mail address) to ccl-workshops@ccl.northwestern.edu. Questions about the workshop may be sent to the same address.

This workshop is made possible with the support of Northwestern's Insitute on Complex Systems (NICO).
