| Abstract | The Open Modeling Environment (OME) is a tool developed to address some known shortcomings in ecological System Dynamics (SD) modeling research. OME provides a common set of methods for interacting directly with spatial information, reducing the need for modelers to create their own methods for doing so. The environment is capable of running as a standalone program, or as a plugin to an existing tool, allowing OME to be useful in a wide range of SD applications. This thesis demonstrates OME's capability by taking a pair of existing SD models and running them at a speed and with an accuracy comparable to their original simulation environments. Additionally, OME is demonstrated running as a plugin to a much larger model simulation framework, where it provides benefits through adding additional simulation dynamics. While much work went into OME, this is only the first phase, with performance optimizations, increased compatibility with existing model formats, and multi-platform implementations all being explored as future directions of development. |
