OpenMOLE
Description: eX Modelo - 4th edition - is a research school on the exploration of simulation models (sensitivity analysis, calibration, validation, etc.) that will be held on November 13th and 14th, 2023 in Paris.
The use of simulation models has widely spread in recent years, in various fields of academic research. Models are being developed to represent and try to better understand all kinds of systems: population dynamics, epidemics, transportation systems, macro-scale systems, micro-scale systems, etc. In some scientific areas, models and in silico simulations have become essential to help study in vivo situations.
However, simulation models are necessarily a simplification of reality, and hypotheses have to be made when developing a model. Thus every model can (and needs to?) be questioned: Is it relevant to tackle the research question behind it? How to extract significant knowledge from the model? What kind of dynamics can it exhibit? How does each mechanism of the model impact those dynamics? Is every mechanism really necessary? These are just some of the many questions a model developer has to answer in order to
During this workshop, after a general introduction on complex systems modelling and simulation, you will learn a step by step model exploration methodology, including state-of-the-art calibration, validation, optimisation and sensitivity analysis techniques. This school will be organized around a strong theoretical component and various practical sessions. You will be invited to apply those techniques as we go, on a case study model adapted just for you. An optional additional day will be open on Wednesday
