TerraME precisa de um metamodelo, que faz múltiplas simulações de um modelo, ou simulações de um mesmo modelo usando diferentes parâmetros. Para tanto, este pequeno programa teria que fazer todas as combinações de parâmetros possíveis. Os valores possíveis destes parâmetros poderiam estar descritos em Lua, num segundo script. Este programa deveria então pegar estas configurações, gerar as simulações e armazenar os resultados de uma forma legível para o modelador. Isto pode ser a primeira fase para a paralelização de modelos no TerraME.

Behavioral Modeling for Agents in Real Environments

Free tutorial for registered ESSA 2009 participants: Social Simulation on the Grid. 14 September 2009, 09:30-12:50, Griffith Theatre, University of Surrey, Guildford, UK.

Grid technology allows access to computing resource, often for free; so there's no excuse for not exploring that extra region of parameter space with your model. This tutorial will be useful for anyone wanting to find out more about the Grid/e-Infrastructure, and how to run social simulations on it.

Final programme:

09:30 Welcome

(Gary Polhill, Research Scientist, Macaulay Land Use Research Institute.)

09:40 Integration of e-Research Software with Social Simulation Software

(Neil Chue Hong, Director, OMII-UK.)

10:15 Grid Computing: EGEE and NGS Projects

(Hamza Mehammed, Senior Trainer, National e-Science Centre.)

10:45 Coffee break

11:15 Experience: Social Simulation on the Grid with FEARLUS

(Gary Polhill)

This session will feature a live demo of using simulationBox to run a simulation, and a video of using simulationBox on a cluster.

12:15 Discussion and Q&A

12:50 Close
