From these documents you can get all the papers, the page numbers of papers, and the full citations. **************************************************************** 3)? ICCM timers turned into Zoom meeting timers http://acs.ist.psu.edu/timers We have been using the ICCM talk timers to give a sense of pace to Zoom calls here. Then, we went wild and made some seasonal ones. There are Halloween, Thanksgiving (either US or CA), Christmas, and now a winter one. They come in multiple time periods (60, 55, 50, 45, 30, 20, 15, 10, 8, 5, 3, 2, 1). These have a 10 min. question period included. It is an interesting use case of usability. I use them in class and meetings. This one has one Easter egg in it.? They have been banned by Faculty Senate and a local governmental board, so you know they are good. We will provide some further updates as we go along. Please consider it pandemic art. RESOURCES **************************************************************** 4)?

As part of the project, we have constructed a brief survey to gauge the computational model usages from various domains/communities, and the value that such an exchange format would have. We would greatly appreciate it if you would take a few moments to provide us with information regarding the modeling environments you use frequently, and the benefits and/or challenges you would see for developing such an exchange format. https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fforms%2Fd%2Fe%2F1FAIpQLSfOZSyoWL4J_MfHTIq5Jx0dnJSVHNFH7UP3AHG_x7ddlMvBPA%2Fviewform&data=04%7C01%7Ciccm-l%40lists.psu.edu%7C6e1d30c6cb084b4e108d08d8d9e00763%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C637498903511178449%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=nVrEYFlWcQ2F1GrQtHtCt%2F4w48Edecd5KlzRJndkYz0%3D&reserved=0 Data from this survey will only be used for informational query and will not be shared with outside sources/marketing companies.
