Workshop + Tutorial at Spatial Cognition 2010
15 August, 2010 – Mt. Hood, Oregon
Spatial cognition researchers have exacting methods for studying how people navigate, learn, and remember buildings, cities, and other large environments. Architects and planners have similarly careful computational methods for modeling the physical form of these environments. With this combination tutorial and workshop, we hope to further the pairing of behavioral methods and environmental models in spatial cognition research. The morning tutorial session will include a hands-on lesson in using environmental modeling techniques known as space syntax. No prior experience is necessary for the tutorial.
For the afternoon workshop session, researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers (short or long format) and posters (with an abstract) for presentation. Those who wish to attend without presenting are invited to submit a position paper. More…
Mike McDaniel successfully finished his Master’s thesis entitled “Agent-Based Modeling of Lost Person Wayfinding.” Congratulations, Mike! You can see a video of sample runs of his NetLogo model here.
We ended 2009 with a fun and productive research retreat in Santa Cruz, CA.
