Tick tock, tick tock… and the CoSMoS “workers” are on their way to Kent University, for another fabulo-important meeting. Some of us are called workers because… hmm, this is what we actually are: a variably sized-group of Research Assistants and Research Students from the Universities of York and Kent, doing work for the common good of the modelling and simulating community.
This time of the year we’ve got a good selection of topics, ranging from Adam Sampson‘s thoughts on decoupling different facets of computer simulations (e.g. their visualisation, data analysis, spatial representation), to Antonio Gomez Zamorano‘s work on FPGA-based computer simulations and more. Let’s not forget Tim Hoverd with his secret weapon, “emergent architecture” and Teodor Ghetiu‘s (yes, me) Argument-Driven Validation. The icing on the cake is provided by Jenny Owen, who will shed more light on evolutionary swarm robots. Bring it on!
Never rule out emergence though. We shall see what tomorrow brings. As for today, see below

- York workers, working…;)
PS: Indeed, that last picture raises some question marks. It is just a glimpse of York‘s everyday natural beauty.
And we all got back again, too
