5 Applications

5.1 Implementation of the Models

These models were both realised in a language called SDML (Strictly Declarative Modelling Language) - a programming language that has been specifically developed in-house for this type of modelling. This is a declarative object-oriented language with features that aid (and are optimized for) the modelling of social, organisational and economic agents. It is particularly suited for these models because is provides facilities for the easy programming of multi-layered object-orientated structures (so the programming of populations of genes within a population of agents is easy) with several levels of time (in this case weeks and days). For more details on this see [23] or http://cfpm.org/sdml.
