Summer edition (2016)

(14.jan.2016): Implementation of Game of Life with some modifications by yourself (states, rules, ...), create your drive for deliveries and put it here, beside your name: http://bit.ly/RSSAlumni
(19.jan.2016): My first model of a phenomena using Game of Life and some modified rules
(21.jan.2016): (a) Implementation of Koch curve to calculate its perimeter and its similarity dimension (extra bonus); (b) Implementation of my Model with solving the ODEs (MATHEMATICA or MATLAB).
(26.jan.2016): Writting projects using Latex, try to use https://pt.sharelatex.com/ :-) (4-6 pages with Introduction (area of modeling), Model, Analysis, Considerations)
(28.jan.2016): (1) Implementation with Automata and ODEs; (2) a Model analysis and parameter analysis; (3) your project (written).

TALK SHOW - Is there a Computer "Science"? by Wilson Rosa Júnior - UFRPE

jan 26, 2016 - OFF (no classes, but consulting and running and developing models and projects...)

READING - The TIPPING POINT and by Gladwell, Computating a theory of Everything by Stephen Wolfram,
CLASS 5 - jan 28, 2015 - (what is Computational Epidemiology? how to capture the Tipping Points? Is it possible? It is not only GIS (http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/2/2/96-0202_article), neither only Math (http://cmmid.lshtm.ac.uk/), neither only Turing Computations of a Information System (https://publications.nigms.nih.gov/computinglife/simsickness.htm or http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2013/7/165478-computational-epidemiology/abstract or http://www.nature.com/news/google-ai-algorithm-masters-ancient-game-of-go-1.19234. so, what is this? a month "calculation" and... enjoy the trip! whats next? Cancer Epidemiology (1), (2)... and by Epitrack :-) applying into other areas than Health: HealthDrones, Desert-Map, Innovation clustering, technology adoption, Energy clustering, ...
