Title : Comparing Crime Prevention Strategies by Agent-Based Simulation
| Presenter | Charlotte Gerritsen |
| Abstract | Within the field of Criminology, an important challenge is to investigate the spatio-temporal dynamics of crime. Typical questions in this area are how the emergence of criminal hot spots can be predicted and prevented. I will present an agent-based simulation approach that is able to address such questions. More specifically, the approach can be used to compare different strategies for guardian movement in terms of their effectiveness and efficiency. To illustrate the approach, a number of simulation experiments have been performed, and the results will be discussed. |
Title : I want to be a Data DJ!
| Presenter | Paul Groth |
| Abstract | This talk provides an overview of my work towards enabling Data DJs. That is enabling users to create, remix, record, and share their data analyses as easily as DJs make and share mixes. The talk touches on a variety of topics including linked data, scientific workflows, provenance, and Facebook. |
