sf.net Project: EcoloSim - Ecology Simulation Framework


EcoloSim is a Simulation Framework for simple spatial models in biology and ecology, in Java. Typical problems are movement of a herd of cattle, growth of microbe cells and other populations.

EcoloSim is a Simulation Framework, which means it is generic, based on clean interfaces and can integrate easily any model and result processing.

It aims at factorizing the basic ingredients of any simulation program:

• GUI data input generation
• saving and retrieving data as XML
  
• binding to standard open source chart tools
• real-time visualizations
  

and some algorithms and common behavior of individual-based simulations:

• neighbour computations
• time stepping
• mathematics: ODE, ...
  

It is light-weight and clean. It made by researchers in ecology and biology, and computer scientists. It originated as a Java training at IRD, France (Institut de recherche pour le développement).
