Social Program
A welcome reception will be held at Elisenbrunnen (
Map Aachen (PDF, 4 MB)
) in Aachen in the evening of Tuesday, 24 September 2013 from 6 pm to 9 pm.
The social event starts with a guided tour in Aachen on Thursday, 26 September 2013 at 5:10 pm (treasure chamber) or 6 pm (old town). The meeting point for both tours can be found on the Map Aachen (PDF, 4 MB)
.
After the tour, we meet each other for the conference dinner at Ratskeller ( Map Aachen (PDF, 4 MB)
) at 7:30 pm.
Schedule
The table below gives an overview of the day's schedule in two parallel sessions. (17.09.2013)
The book of abstracts is available here (17.09.2013). The pdf-file is not printable, because you get a hardcopy of the latest version while you register at the conference. An errata of the book of abstracts is availaible under downloads.
The plenary talks last 45 minutes, all other talks last 25 minutes including questions and alteration.

Plenary Talks
Jens Krause
Collective Behaviour and Collective Cognition
Many group-living species exhibit complex and coordinated spatio-temporal patterns from the motion of locust swarms and fish schools to bird flocks, ungulate herds and human crowds. The common property of these seemingly unrelated biological phenomena is that of inter-individual interaction, by which individuals can influence the behaviour of others. Individual-based models provide predictions regarding collective processes which we tested in a set of experiments that explore human crowd dynamics and fish schooling behaviour. In particular we designed a robotic fish that can be used to manipulate decision-making processes in live shoals of fish. Finally, I will discuss the phenomenon of swarm intelligence using examples from both humans and animals.

Pedestrian Dynamics: Experiments and Models
Understanding pedestrian dynamics has become a key issue, not only regarding evacuation safety, but also for the design of buildings or urban equipments, or the animation of movies or games. The dynamics of pedestrians involves various scales, ranging from the detailed stepping behavior to the emergence of large flow structures in crowds. It is a challenge to understand how these scales can be related, and which parameters govern the overall behavior of crowds. In the frame of the PEDIGREE Project [www.pedigree-project.info], we have realized some experiments that give access to these various scales. Data analysis has revealed some unexpected features. Besides, these experimental results have inspired several modeling approaches that I will review, ranging from IBM to continuous models.

Evolution of Road Networks
The road network is a crucial component of urban systems: its growth and evolution reflect how a city changes in time. This network is both embedded in space and evolves in time, and we thus have to face the difficulty of measuring and characterizing its evolution, and to extract useful information. I will illustrate in this talk these various problems and present some recent results on empirical case studies. If time allows, I will also mention various directions for modeling these systems.
