Hi all,
Question 1:
I'm designing a template that represents (in a nested fashion) many
different agent-based land change models within a single meta-model
framework.
Ideally, I would like to represent it as a series of class diagrams,
with that representation having these features:
1) You could click via hyperlinks on super-classes to get to the class
diagrams for the functions, subclass, etc. represented within them, and
similarly click back from function and data calls to the referenced
functions and data.
2) You could select views that contained either the complete
meta-model framework, or only representations for particular subsets of
models (including single models).
Does anyone know of something like this, in particular specialized
software?
Question 2:
Do people know of similar efforts in other applications of ABM? I
already know of several that create standardized models descriptions,
but none to date that build standardized graphical modeling frameworks
for particular application areas.
Thanks very much in advance and apologies for cross-postings,
Dawn
