Homework 1: Session B
Conference:
The Society for Modeling and Simulation International.
Paper Submission Requirements:
Short Papers
Short papers are non-archived publications (max. 4 pages) that present brief and focused research contributions that are noteworthy but may not merit a full paper. Typically short papers provide an overview of research-in-progress and/or thought-provoking work relevant to the SimAUD community. They have not reached completion level necessary for jury review and acceptance as complete papers; however, authors will benefit from in-person feedback from symposium attendees.
Short papers should include:
- A focused description, and if appropriate, analysis of the work
- Potential impact of the work to the SimAUD community
- Recommendations for future research and application in practice
Please adhere to the 4-page limit. Paper templates will be uploaded shortly.
Project & Videos
Many architecture and urban design projects communicate visions of a proposed future. Projects and videos are among the best ways to communicate these visions. We invite project and video submissions of high-quality scientific visualizations of architecture or urban design projects, interactive design decision support systems, compelling animations of construction simulation, and more. We strongly encourage authors of full and short paper submissions to also provide a high-quality video for peer-review and exhibition at the SimAUD symposium.
A project submission is a poster that summarizes a professional or student design project that utilizes simulation as a means for informing design decisions, in an effort to demonstrate innovation and excellence in architecture and urban design. All projects should be submitted on boards that adhere to an A1 page size, portrait or landscape orientation, with no other specific limitations and not necessarily tied to a paper submission.
Outline of the paper:
Food Accessibility in Hudson
Introduction:
The city of Hudson lies in a massive food desert. Our team is trying to assess food purchase patterns from the only local Walmart store versus mobile grocery trucks if they were to be introduced. We’re looking at how parameters like distance, car ownership and work timings define how many grocery trucks will be required, and what the ideal schedule of these trucks is to benefit the maximum number of households. The idea is to bridge the food accessibility gap.
Outline:
Use census data to understand and analyze alternative solutions to the existing problem, and investigate the scaleability and replicability potential.
