Subject: Ringvorlesung Introduction to Digital Humanities
Dear all,
The Digital Humanities lecture circuit at the University of Vienna
enters week nine with Anita Lucchesi presenting “Meet Tropy: Your
Portable Archive Reading Room.”
The lecture will take place at 16:45 on Tuesday the 12th of December in
HS 41 of the main building, and will be followed by a small reception.
All are welcome!
The lecture can also be followed live on U Stream.
We look forward to welcoming you,
Emily Genatowski

Workshop: Agent-based modelling for Archaeologists
Are you an archaeologist with an interest in digital methods? Are you passionate
about exploring past human-environmental and social interactions? Do you want to
extend your research skills with quantitative formal modelling methods? Then
this free online 2-hour workshop is for you!
Agent-based modelling (ABM) is a simulation approach for representing and
exploring theories about past human interaction (learn more about the approach
here<https://www.sfipress.org/books/agent-based-modeling-archaeology>). This
workshop uses user-friendly guided tutorials to introduce and learn ABM step-by-
step. Learn how to use simulation software and explore how this powerful
complexity science technique can complement your research. Participants will
finish the workshop with an understanding of agent-based modelling methods and
the essential coding skills. No prior ABM skills or experience required.
Advanced tutorials will be available for those with ABM experience.
When?
January 22nd, 2024, 15:00-17:00 CET
or
January 25th, 2024, 09:00-11:00 CET
Where?
Online meeting on Zoom (you will receive a link to your email address after the
registration ends)
Register here (https://forms.gle/knvBYnLnFPi23xV2A)
Registration deadline 8th January 2024
Who can register?
The workshop is intended for students/professionals in archaeology, history,
heritage studies, anthropology and similar subjects at all career levels.
What will you learn?
* Introduction to the theory and practice of ABM
* How to create an archaeological simulation
* Basic programming skills in NetLogo
No prior knowledge of ABM or coding is required.
No installation or software is required. The tutorials run in your web browser
(Chrome is recommended).
Organizers and instructors
Tom Brughmans
Tom is an associate professor at Aarhus University’s Centre for Urban Network
Evolutions (UrbNet) and Classical Archaeology. His research interests include
the study of Roman economic and urban phenomena, past social networks, and
visual signalling systems. He performs much of his work by applying
computational methods such as network science, agent-based simulation and
geographical information systems.
Adam Pažout
Adam is a research assistant at the Centre for Urban Network Evolutions (UrbNet)
at the Aarhus University. His interests are Roman roads and transportation, and
Roman army in the provinces, with special focus on the Eastern provinces of the
Roman Empire. He has a passion for landscape archaeology and digital methods in
archaeology, especially GIS.
Eduardo Herrera Malatesta
Eduardo Herrera Malatesta is a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for
Urban Network Evolutions at Aarhus University. His research interest lies in
understanding the creation and transformation of past landscapes. He explores
this by applying spatial statistics, geographical information systems, and
anthropological theories.
Jens Emil Bødstrup Christoffersen
Jens is an Archaeology master’s student at Aarhus University. His research
interests include computational simulation methods to study complex systems. He
has a particular interest in agent-based modeling and GIS. He is also
enthusiastic about exploring the potential of network analysis and machine
learning in his research.
Magnus Lindholm Nielsen
Magnus is currently pursuing a masters in History and a minor in Computer
Science at Aarhus University. He is a passionate digital humanist, who is always
interested in finding new ways to use digital and computational methods to make
new types of analysis possible. He has experience with ABM, Data Science and
visualization, and Natural Language Processing.
The Agent-Based Modelling for Archaeologists (ABMA) project is made possible
thanks to the EU Erasmus+ programme under agreement
2021-2-IE01-KA220-VET-000049054.
