This brief paper argues for a radically different approach, based on the representation of the model structure, relationships and equations in a declarative format (e.g. XML). Simulation code can then be generated from this, but in addition the model can be displayed and processed in a wide range of useful ways, greatly increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the modelling process. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2007.17.1 Sat, 20 Jan 2007 16:41:38 UTC Declarative modelling in the ecological and environmental sciences doi:10.1038/npre.2007.17.1 2007-01-20 Robert Muetzelfeldt Nature Precedings 2007-01-20T16:41:38Z Manuscript Ecology Earth & Environment http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/
