Social forces are usually not considered in modeling systems, but have a huge <br />influence on how water is actually managed with a water system. <br />ArkAgent will use cutting-edge computer science techniques for modeling social and economic <br />components: the artificially-intelligent agent. <br />Individuals (farmers, water managers, urban and rural residents, etc) are modeled as independent, <br />thinking entities inside a computer simulation. Each individual agent has decision making abilities, and <br />plays an active role in the simulated society. <br />ArkAgent shows potential future social, economic and hydrologic outcomes given a particular choice of <br />management policy. <br />The process of developing this model is as follows <br />Data gathering <br />Technical Implementation <br />Testing <br />Roll-out <br />These phases will all be conducted through collaborative work with different stakeholder/community <br />groups, through local workshops, 2008-2010. <br />There will be frequent online releases of the tool for community use, when development milestones are <br />reached. <br />Again, funding for this model is by USGS and MIT, not by the State of Colorado or our Roundtable <br />Approval of April agenda <br />April's meeting will be from 10:00 - 12:30 pm <br />The Roundtable will meet with the Gunnison Roundtable on July 9t", in Gunnison <br />The Roundtable will move its regular meeting in September to Trinidad, at 12:30 pm. <br />Oct 8th: Annual Meeting <br />Other Business <br />Tamarisk issue was raised. <br />Meeting adjourned.
