Progress in Model-To-Model Analysis

1.1 The model-to-model series of workshops was set up with a view to gathering work on comparative analysis of social simulations. The first workshop was held in Marseille, March 2003, to counter a perceived dearth of comparison and transfer of knowledge among a burgeoning number of models in the area (Hales, Rouchier and Edmonds 2003). Since then, a second workshop was held alongside ESSA 2004 in Valladolid, the forum of JASSS has been dedicated to model comparison work, and now, after a relatively long interval, a third workshop was held in Marseille, March 2007.
