This manual introduces a simple example from the field of experimental ecology to show how an Extend model is developed an how it can be packed as an Extend model block that resides in a model block library. This is indeed an ultimate goal of the SPICOSA project. Here, a step by step guide is presented which subsequently shows how: · to construct a model based on a conceptual description; · to calibrate this model using an experimental dataset based on laboratory observations; · to encapsulate the model in a more hierarchical structure; · to encode the model using ModL, the programming language of Extend; · to create a library in which the blocks reside; · to add documentation to the model block so that potential users can use the block. |
