Community Events

Is limited computing capacity holding back your science? Do you need help managing your research computing workloads with automation? If you work with research workloads that can be broken into independent, parallel computing tasks.
The OSG School uses lectures, demonstrations, hands-on exercises, personal consulting with OSG experts, and even roleplaying to teach you how to use high-throughput computing (HTC) effectively and get a research workload up and running.

Brain Emulation Challenge Workshop: Functionalizing Brain Data, Ground-Truthing, and the Role of Artificial Data in Advancing Neuroscience

Explore the challenges and opportunities in functionalizing brain data to emulate neural circuits, tackle cutting-edge topics such as ground-truthing for validation, leveraging artificial datasets generated from virtual brain tissue, and the transformative potential of virtual brain platforms, such as applied to the forthcoming Brain Emulation Challenge.

** Extended deadline - 11 Feb - Call for Papers - MABS 2025 - The 26th International Workshop on Multi-Agent-Based Simulation, part of the AAMAS 2025 conference, taking place in Detroit, Michigan, USA, from May 19th to May 23rd, 2025. Submissions must be electronically submitted through https://mabsworkshop.github.io/cfp/ before the submission deadline. (Deadline: February 11)

This workshop explores the intersection of Agent-Based Modeling, Complex Networks, and High-Performance Computing for large-scale systems. It includes talks, a panel, posters, and a hands-on course on Vahana.jl. Aimed at researchers and students in complex systems and related fields. Speakers from various universities will present. Free participation with registration; poster abstracts due November 10th.

At CoMSES.Net, we are seeing a growing number of models using GAMA. This is a great opportunity to present some of your works and learn more about GAMA modelling. The event is hosted online by Unit for Mathematical and Computer Modeling of Complex Systems, France (UMMISC).

This workshop introduces agent-based modeling, a method for understanding complex social dynamics by simulating interactions among individual agents. Agent-based modeling allows observing social patterns in computer simulations, enabling students to specify rules for agent behavior. The workshop teaches NetLogo for creating models, enabling students to design, analyze, and visualize social dynamics, incorporating empirical data using statistical tools like R or Python.

Applications are now open for the 2024 OSG School: https://osg-htc.org/school-2024/
Through lectures, discussions, and lots of hands-on activities with experienced OSG staff, you will learn how HTC systems work, how to run and manage lots of jobs and huge datasets to implement a scientific computing workflow, and where to get more information and help.
