The Structural Modeling Applications for Research in Technology (S.M.A.R.T)
society will host a workshop on August 17-18, 2014 at Carnegie Mellon
University, Pittsburgh.
Structural Modeling methods are being increasingly used in research on
Technology. The purpose of the workshop is to introduce PhD
students/researchers to structural modeling methods. As most of the
researchers involved in structural modeling would agree that the upfront
cost of learning and applying structural modeling is a quite steep. It is
even steeper if one does not have economics department teaching courses on
structural modeling. The workshop would aim to reduce the upfront cost of
learning a bit by providing several hands-on tutorials on the structural
modeling. The aim of the workshop is also to open up common ground for
future discussions between PhD students and colleagues across schools who
use/ wish to use structural modeling methods in Information Systems
research.
Workshop Format:
Day 1: Tutorial Day
Several hands on tutorials (directed primarily at doctoral students) on
Structural Modeling. Three particular models will be covered this year:
1. Structural Demand Estimation Using Aggregate Data
2. Dynamic Structural Learning Model
3. Single Agent Dynamic Structural Optimization Model.
Day 2: Invited Paper Presentations by Faculty
A 30 minutes paper presentation followed by an in-depth 20-30 minutes
discussion on the paper (with particular focus on methods). The papers
presented would use structural modeling methods. The presentations will be
done by faculty only.
Everyone is invited to the workshop. However for the tutorial day, we would
restrict the number of PhD students that we would accept for attending the
workshop to a max of 40.
