SEMoLa
(Simple, Easy to use, MOdelling LAnguage) is a non procedural
meta-language to build simulation models for continuous/event
driven, deterministic/stochastic systems.
The
SEMoLa framework has been developed at the Department of
Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, University of
Udine
(Italy) and can be used to
represent any system. It is particularly suit to represent
biological, ecological and agricultural systems, at different scale
and complexity level.
The
SEMoLa language is integrated in a simulation framework that
simplifies the tasks of model building, simulation and
documentation; moreover it provides facilities for sensitivity
analysis, calibration, validation, data management, statistical
analysis, neural network building, unit verification and others.
All
the available features can be activated using a GUI or by commands,
in interactive or batch mode.
SEMoLa
implements the system analysis concepts (Forrester, 1968; Jørgensen,
1994) through a non procedural declarative logic that makes the code
of the model easy to build and read, self-explaining and easy to
debug.
The
model CSS (Cropping System Simulator) is developed and maintained by
SEMoLa.
Two
versions are available: GUI version (SEMoLa4) and console version
(SEMoLa4c).
