Complex systems
simulations generally involve the interaction of different scientific
fields. Human economies, ecosystems or dynamic computer networks are
good examples. Since models and simulators already exist in those
fields, designing the simulation as a
society of interacting models and interacting simulators
appears attractive. Beyond the conceptual and technical issues to make
the different models and simulators cooperate, the challenge is to facilitate the design and implementation
of these societies of interacting models and simulators.
