You are invited to participate in the 20th Conference on Behavior
Representation in Modeling and Simulation (BRIMS), to be held at the
Sundance Resort in Sundance, UT. BRIMS enables modeling and simulation
research scientists, engineers, and technical communities across
disciplines to meet, share ideas, identify capability gaps, discuss
cutting-edge research directions, highlight promising technologies, and
showcase the state-of-the-art in Department of Defense related
applications. The BRIMS Conference will consist of many exciting
elements in 2011, including special topic areas, technical paper
sessions,  special symposia/panel discussions, and government laboratory
sponsor sessions. 

 

Highlights of BRIMS 2011 include a fantastic and eclectic lineup of
keynote speakers spanning cognitive modeling, sociocultural modeling,
and network science:

John Laird, PhD

      University of Michigan, http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/laird/ 

Lael Schooler, Phd

      Max Planck Institute, http://ntfm.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/mpib/FMPro 

Kathleen Carley, PhD

      Carnegie Mellon University,
http://www.casos.cs.cmu.edu/bios/carley/carley.html 

Chris Barrett, PhD 

      Virginia Tech, http://ndssl.vbi.vt.edu/people/cbarrett.html 

 

The BRIMS Executive Committee invites papers, posters, demos, symposia,
panel discussions, and tutorials on topics related to the representation
of individuals, groups, teams and organizations in models and
simulations. All submissions are peer-reviewed (see
www.brimsconference.org for additional details on submission types).
