Dec 1, 2005 |
An introduction
to Jackson Networks. Presentated by Michael Last. Based on the Chapter 2 of the book "Fundamentals of Queuing Networks" by Chen and Yao. Discussions and planning of activities for the next semester were also addressed. |

Dec 8, 2005 |
Michael Last will
discuss about ideas/approaches for future work and what sort of data we
want to work with. A couple of people from Dr. Carpenter's group FMD
modeling at UC Davis may call in. Several papers from their group can
be found here. |
|
| Jan 12, 2006 | Presentation: "Intro to Stochastic Networks Models" by Grzegorz Rempala followed by discussions around the idea of applying Jackson networks to agricultural systems. The pdf version of the presentation can be found here. | |
| Jan 19, 2006 | Presentation: "Aggregated Model of a Food Production Chain" by Grzegorz Rempala followed by a Supply Networks Demo by Michael Last. The two presentations together with the script Michael used for his simulations can be found here. | |
| Jan 26, 2006 | Presentation on SIR models by Alun Lloyd. If time permits, Hoan Nguyen and Sava Dediu will talk about sensitivity analysis for dynamical systems. | |
| Feb 2, 2006 | Presentation on sensitivity analysis for dynamical systems by H.T. Banks, Sava Dediu and Hoan Nguyen. | |
| Feb 9, 2006 | Anjela Govan will
talk about including the SIR into the Aggregated Model of a Food
Production Chain. The powerpoint and
the pdf versions of her presentation can be found here. |
|
| Feb 16, 2006 | Anjela Govan will
present the updated Aggregated Model of a Food Production Chain with
SIR. Time permitting Sava Dediu and Hoan Nguyen will talk about the
