【Master Forum】Analytics, Data Science, and Simulation: Opportunities and Challenges

2018.10.26
Event

In this talk, we will discuss research questions that are likely to become more important in the next decade, as data, modeling, and simulation become more tightly integrated within various decision platforms. Simulation can play a key role in improving decision-making, but the ways in which simulation will be used may require new research-based methodologies.
