Abstract: |
This paper presents a snapshot of the Declarative
Rule- based Agent Modelling System (DRAMS), which
is currently being developed with the goal of providing declarative rule
engine functionality to agent-based simulation models. While the incentive
for this effort is to allow stakeholders in policy modelling
activities to better understand and, hence, to be more deeply involved in modelling and simulation of policy processes, the
approach chosen appears to be valuable for many other areas. After
a short literature review on similar approaches, the paper briefly outlines
the FP7 project OCOPOMO, the context in which DRAMS is developed, in order to
underpin some of the requirements and related design decisions presented subsequently.
On the basis of this information, the software architecture is described in
some detail, followed by a few notes about implementation and user
interfaces. Finally, a small “toy” model illustrates the use of DRAMS. |
