Programme

Introduction to modelling in Julia is a 1-day workshop

Date: Friday, 3rd March 2023

 

Structure

Each block of the workshop is composed of 1.5 hours, with ~45 mins allocated for solving exercises with the aid of tutors.

You can expect a relaxed atmosphere focused on a hands-on experience, where an active participation of the attendees is encouraged.

 

For organisation purposes, we recommend participants to arrive around 10-15min before the start of the first session. 

 

  • Session 1: Core language

10:30 - 12:00

General introduction to the Julia programming language.

 

12:00 - 13:00 Lunch Provided by the institute to the workshop participants

 

  • Session 2: DynamicalSystems.jl

13:00 - 14:30

Introduction to the nonlinear dynamics library. 

We will go through defining and interactively evolving dynamical systems (ODEs), finding their attractors and Lyapunov exponents, and other typical workflows.

 

14:30 - 15:00 Break

 

  • Session 3: Agents.jl

15:00 - 16:30

Introduction to the ABM framework.

We will go through defining and interactively evolving a predator-prey model, and performing a basic data analysis workflow on its output.

 

16:30 - 17:00 Final remarks and Closure
