Introducing a modular data platform

Why SpaDES, what it is for, and how does it help us? Plus: importing modules and running fairly simple simulations from pre-made modules.

• What is `SpaDES`?

Getting started with `SpaDES` in R

How to start from the beginning, making simple modules, making modules interact

• My first `SpaDES` module - from `R` to `SpaDES`
• 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
• Integrating different disciplines? With SpaDES is possible!
• SpaDES in Action

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

Module development -- Developer's Workshop

Advanced topics that can be helpful while going through the modules.

• Modules -- Thinking in a modular way
• My first `SpaDES` module - from `R` to `SpaDES`
• Modules -- The nitty gritty details
• simList -- What is in it?
• Exercises: Building `SpaDES` modules
• Modules -- Integrating among modules
• Sharing modules and data
• Simulation experiments and replication
• R -- developing powerful skills
• R -- Profiling code
