There will be a panel, to trigger debate and discussions. There will be interactivity, through questions or “exercises”. Discussions and questions – also during presentations – are encouraged. The format of the workshop will not be rigidly fixed, but will rather consist of a number of “components”, that we together make something out of! So the output is an effect of the dynamics in the 2-hour workshop system and the input from the participants – a little bit like with simulation! There will be a few presentations to start with, to set the platform – and hopefully inspire. And in heading for the future we should learn from this! A lot has improved and evolved, but not by necessity everything. But even more so is how we think related to simulation, how we use related competence (or don’t), what demands we put on the software platforms (and don’t), how we work in the projects (and don’t), and what issues we address (and don’t) – the “philosophy of simulation”! In the workshop, experiences from “the past” are included. And this is of course relevant and important. The aim of this “workshop” is partly to inspire, partly to provoke, partly to challenge! There is a tendency to focus on all the technical developments when discussing simulation and considering what will happen in the future.
