<div dir="ltr"><div>Greetings to all collaborators,</div><div><br></div><div>Robert Smith? in a great demonstration of editing capability was able to assemble the collaborative paper within one night, Believe me this is not easy for considering there are 18 authors.</div><div><br></div><div>First, I suggest all collaborators thank him personally for his effort here. There are 18 people in the paper and he knows much about what you do - he visited your web pages for the paper so I suggest you repay him the same gesture and learn what he does better so you can retell it to others - just like he can tell about your work now.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, the paper was posted for SummerSim and I will handle its review - if you have suggestions for reviewers, please send them via personal email my way.</div><div><br></div><div>Meanwhile, before external reviewers, I suggest each one of the authors listed below looks at the paper draft and checks his section for accuracy including name spelling and affiliation - much text was changed to fit it into one paper - so expect changes. Unless there is an error, I suggest you request no changes until we get the reviews - unless it is extremely important in which case be mindful of Robert's time. If there are errors - please report those and they will be taken care of in the next revision after external reviewers file their review. </div><div><br></div><div>Here is a link to the draft paper submitted: </div><div><a href="https://simtk.org/docman/view.php/962/1957/SummerSim_2016_PopMod_Submit_2016_04_25_Robert_Smith.pdf">https://simtk.org/docman/view.php/962/1957/SummerSim_2016_PopMod_Submit_2016_04_25_Robert_Smith.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div>Here is the author list:</div><div><br></div><div>Robert Smith?, The University of Ottawa, Canada; </div><div>Aristides Moustakas, Queen Mary University of London, UK; </div><div>Romualdo Santos, Federal University of Sergipe Rosa Elze, Brazil; </div><div>Nieko Punt, Medimatics, The Netherlands; </div><div>Andreas Zeigler, University of Lubeck, Germany; </div><div>William Jusko, University at Buffalo, USA; </div><div>Matthias Chung, Virginia Tech, USA; </div><div>Sixten Borg, Lund University, Sweden; </div><div>M´elanie Prague, Harvard, USA; </div><div>Bruce Lee, University of Pittsburgh, USA;</div><div>Ayaz Hyder, Ohio State University, USA; </div><div>Carl Asche, University of Illinois, USA; </div><div>Robin Gras, University of Windsor, Canada; </div><div>Yifei Ma, Virginia Tech, USA; </div><div>Valery Forbes, University of Minnesota, USA; </div><div>Tracy Comans, Vanderbilt, USA; </div><div>Bishal Paudel, Vanderbilt, USA; </div><div>Lucas Brotz, University of British Columbia, Canada.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I really hope that some of you consider attending SummerSim.</div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks for all of those who participated and I hope to return with reviews soon.</div><div><br></div><div> Jacob</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Apr 23, 2016 at 8:24 PM, Jacob Barhak <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jacob.barhak@gmail.com" target="_blank">jacob.barhak@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Greetings again to all collaborators,</div><div><br></div><div>Robert Smith? has volunteered to take over editing the paper.</div><div><br></div><div>I just passed him the draft.</div><div><br></div><div>All communications about the collaborative paper should be passed to him from now on.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks Robert.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div> Jacob</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></font></span></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 23, 2016 at 1:02 AM, Jacob Barhak <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jacob.barhak@gmail.com" target="_blank">jacob.barhak@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;padding-left:1ex;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid"><div dir="ltr"><div>Greeting to all those who introduced themselves to the group,</div><div><br></div><div>When many of you joined the group you introduced yourselves and how you are related to population modeling.</div><div><br></div><div>Last year we published a review paper by collection around 20 of our introductions together into a paper that covers population modeling by examples.
