This work is about some of the philosophical problems that arise in the context of agent-based modeling. Agent-based models differ from other modeling techniques primarily in terms of the way they represent their target system. They are a comparatively novel kind of computer simulation and are used to investigate complex systems. In recent decades, agent-based models have been used in disciplines such as economics, archaeology, sociology, and ecology. Typical target systems of agent-based models include markets, foragers, opinion dynamics, and predator-prey interactions.

L'histoire architecturale du siège de la Banque Générale du Luxembourg (BGL), est intimement liée à l’histoire urbanistique de la ville de Luxembourg. Le choix du quartier, du boulevard ou de la rue dans lequel la Banque va s'implanter a toute sa signification et n’est pas dû au hasard. Les choix architecturaux, l’emplacement d’un siège deviennent-ils alors des éléments qui contribuent à façonner l'identité d'une banque ? Ou est-ce que les mutations urbaines et les évolutions du secteur bancaire influencent-elles le style de la construction ?

The article provides an overview of the categories of forced workers from the USSR in Luxembourg during the Second World War. In particular, in addition to specific figures, selected biographies of both Soviet prisoners of war and civilian "Eastern workers" are given. The article treats their transportation from the Nazi-occupied Soviet territories, the life in a Luxembourger camp, living conditions, supply of clothes and shoes, food, working conditions and punishments. It also provides examples of the Luxembourg population sheltering prisoners who escaped from the camp.

The article describes the difficulties of returning from Soviet captivity of the Luxembourgers who were drafted into the German Wehrmacht. On concrete examples, it is shown what was the path even of those young people into the German army who actively resisted the invaders and participated in the General Strike of 1942. The article also provides an overview of the possibilities in Soviet captivity for building survival mechanisms (learning the language, participating in the theater, writing poetry, songs and creating paintings).

The talk was focused on the academic activities around the international and interdisciplinary seminar at the University of Luxembourg "Russia and Luxembourg at the Crossroads of History"

Der Tod eines Soldaten unterscheidet sich vom natürlichen Tod eines Zivilisten, der durch Alter oder Krankheit stirbt. Er stirbt oft jung und durch Gewalt. Im Krieg zu fallen war stets eine Besonderheit. Die Heldenverehrung und Phrasen wie „Gefallen für das Vaterland!“ sind schnelle Assoziationen mit Tod im Krieg. Nina Janz hat sich dem Thema aus kulturwissenschaftlich-historischer Perspektive genähert und dazu geforscht, wie unterschiedlich den Kriegstoten gedacht wurde.

In this part of the book is a review on the diverse academic forms in which University of Luxembourg and C2DH are active on the research of contemporary history in Luxembourg and Russia in an interdisciplinary manner and from a transnational perspective.

Ce séminaire s’est focalisé sur l’analyse critique d’images de la guerre froide. Dans une première partie, il a été question du pouvoir des images et de leur manipulation à des fins de propagande. Ensuite, à travers des exemples concrets, l’outil numérique StoryMap a été présenté, invitant les étudiants à décrypter des caricatures afin de construire leur propre analyse critique.
