Workshop overview

• Short summary

Introduction to SpaDES

• Google Drive - Contains Powerpoint, module code for LCC2005 example

Advanced introduction to SpaDES

Installing SpaDES fore the first time, importing modules and running fairly simple simulations

• 01 What is SpaDES?

Making new modules -- Developer's Workshop

How to start from the beginning, why SpaDES, simple raster modules, interacting among modules

• My first, simple module - Moving from loops to events
• SpaDES4Dummies - Building new modules, and connecting them
• Converting R code to a `SpaDES` module - seed establishment

Using existing modules -- Developer's Workshop

If you are given a module, how do we get it, understand it, run it, test it, incorporate it into our own modules

• Modules -- Downloading and using existing modules

Developing a new continuously available science -- Developer's Workshop

Often decision support appears a long way from raw data collection, statistical model fitting, simulation modeling, optimization

• The 'data-to-decisions' workflow

Reference -- Developer's topics for reference

Advanced topics that can be helpful while going through the modules

• Modules -- Thinking in a modular way
• Modules -- The nitty gritty details
• Modules -- Integrating among modules
• simList -- What is in it?
• R -- developing powerful skills
• R -- Profiling code
• Sharing modules and data
• Simulation experiments and replication

Reference -- Links to SpaDES wiki pages and vignettes

These are key to working with SpaDES, they are on the wiki or in vignettes

• Debugging
• Caching
• Plotting
