Simulating the Future: An Introduction to System Dynamics and Agent-Based Modelling

Swansea University, Singleton Campus, Wallace Building, PC Lab 217

Computer simulations provide powerful tools to understand complex systems and predict how they change over time. This interdisciplinary workshop introduces postgraduate students to the fundamentals of system dynamics through computational modelling.Using the flexible and accessible R programming language, you will learn to simulate processes ranging from disease spread to balancing conservation with human development. Through hands-on examples, we will explore both differential equation models and agent-based approaches to reveal insights into the structure, behaviour, and potential futures of dynamic systems.While some prior experience with R or modelling is helpful, we’ll start from the ground up—making this workshop perfect for budding scientists eager to unlock the power of modelling. Mae efelychiadau cyfrifiadurol yn offer pwerus i ddeall systemau cymhleth a rhagfynegi sut maent yn newid dros amser. Mae'r gweithdy rhyngddisgyblaethol hwn yn cyflwyno myfyrwyr ôl-raddedig i hanfodion dynameg systemau drwy fodelu cyfrifiadol.Gan ddefnyddio'r iaith raglennu hyblyg a hygyrch R, byddwch yn dysgu sut i efelychu prosesau, gan amrywio o ymlediad afiechyd i gydbwyso cadwraeth â datblygiad dynol. Drwy enghreifftiau ymarferol, byddwn yn archwilio modelau hafaliadau differol ac ymagweddau ar sail cyfrwng i ddatgelu gwybodaeth am strwythur, ymddygiad a dyfodol posib systemau dynamig.Er bod rhywfaint o brofiad blaenorol o R neu fodelu yn ddefnyddiol, byddwch yn dechrau o'r dechrau – gan wneud y gweithdy hwn yn berffaith i egin wyddonwyr sy'n awyddus i ddatgloi pŵer modelu.
