modelling system and then use FEARLUS to explore the dynamics of

project entitled æDevelopment of socio-economic methods to synthesize
stakeholder priorities û using implementation of the Water Framework
Directive as a case studyÆ.
The successful candidate will be educated to degree level in a

artificial life, or related areas, or be otherwise able to demonstrate
