Engines Events Simulation SML Object Database Environment Problem Farmers often struggle with containing disease within their farms. The Disease Ecology and Computer Modeling Laboratory (DECML) wants to help farmers by providing a way for them to discover the main reasons for disease spread on their farms. Animal Animals are the core of the simulation. They make use of decision engines, which use a chain of user-defined equations and variables to control how Animals act. There are currently a handful of Engines that use various values in different ways to determine how Animals “think.” These Engines can be swapped in and out of Animals. This interchangeability allows for multiple Animals of the same “type” to act differently due to different methods of thinking. World The simulation functions by creating a chain of “Events” that represent everything that is going to happen in a time step. These events are strung together and then passed to anything that is listening for the Events, which ranges from a Logger to the World.The World handles modifying the Environment based on the changes described within the Events. Because the World responds to Events, the simulation can be removed and Events can either be created manually or read from a report and passed into a World to view the results of a simulation. Goal Create an extensible, agent-based model of cow behavior that enables researchers to track disease transmittance on user-defined farm environments.
