Agent-Based Modelling

Project Workshop on Agent-Based Modelling

Universität Zürich, Switzerland, 18-20 November 2019

Dirk Pijpops gave a presentation on agent-based modelling (Pijpops 2019) and helped with the practical application of the model for the project. Dirk is highly experienced in the computational simulation and modelling of language (e.g. Pijpops & Beuls 2015; Pijpops, Beuls & Van de Velde 2015; Pijpops & Van de Velde 2018; Pijpops, Beuls & Van de Velde 2018).
