Abstract for: Managing Complexity with Stella

This workshop is designed for people with some experience with Stella or those who attended, or have worked through the recording of, the Getting Started with Stella virtual workshop. It will cover some of the more advanced modeling techniques supported by Stella including the use of modules to manage more complex models and the use of arrays to deal with situations in which the same structure can be used to represent a number of different agents or occurrences. We will cover a number of useful techniques for navigating within larger models in order to understand the sources of observed behavior, including cross module loop tracing using LTM. Participants should bring their own computers (Windows, Macintosh, or Linux), and we will provide software for use during the workshop.
