Explanation of how the demographic model works after the first and second iterations of the development cycle

• This went well!
• Andy used a whiteboard and did a lot of arm waiving.
• Phil took notes and wrote these up into a Microsoft Word Document
  • Document with subsequent comments integrated by Andy and Belinda
  • Document with subsequent comments integrated by Mark
• Phil and Martin feel a bit left out of the loop and would like to see more documentation and be more involved in generating population datsets.
• There was a general appreciation that Modelling and Simulation for e-Social Science is much more than modelling the UK human population as households, individuals and communal establishments for 2001 to 2031 and developing health, business and transport applications based on this.
• It was also recognised that the demographic modelling that is being done in MoSeS is of key concern to Phil and Martin and they want to be convinced that the datasets being generated are fit for purpose.
