“…The terms model library [31], the Network for Computational Modelling in the Social and Ecological Sciences (CoMSES Net) Computational Model Library (CML) [33], and model bank [34] are treated as having the same meaning in this study and are referred to as "model base," which is an organizational collection of models contained in an electronic storage medium accessible to users and programs [35]. The models in the model base are expected to be reused as building blocks for more complex systems, provided that they can be linked together in a meaningful way (matching the variables, scales, etc.)…”

“…These functions are analogous to those of a database management system, where the objects of interest are data records instead of models. Thus, a model base management system (MBMS) should be able to store and manipulate models in ways similar to the methods database management systems (DBMS) store and manipulate data [34]. Therefore, it is not surprising to see the strong influence of database technology in the creation of model management systems [35,40].…”

Abstract:The model environment is a key component that enables a virtual geographic environment (VGE) to meet the scientific requirements for simulating dynamic phenomena and performing analyses. Considering the comprehensiveness of geographic processes and the requirements for the replication of model-based research, this paper proposes a model base framework for a model environment of a VGE that supports both model construction and modelling management, resulting in improved reproducibility. In this framework, model management includes model metadata, creation, deposition, encapsulation, integration, and adaptation; while modelling management focuses on invoking the model, model computation, and runtime control of the model. Based on this framework, to consider the problem of ever-worsening air quality, we applied the Linux-Apache-MySQL-Perl stack plus Supervisor to implement the model base to support a VGE prototype using professional meteorological and air quality models. Using this VGE prototype, we simulated a typical air pollution case for January 2010. The prototype not only illustrates how a VGE application can be built on the proposed model base, but also facilitates air quality simulations and emergency management.

We describe how a generic multi-period optimization-based decision support system can be used for strategic and operational planning in a company whose processes can be described in terms of five fundamental elements: Materials, Facilities, Activities, Times and Storage-Areas. We discuss the issues of interface design, data reporting and updating, and production and profit planning. We also compare the performances of two different types of database structures with respect to optimization.

“…There is a consensus among researchers (e.g., [6,4,27,16]) that decision support and modeling systems should support the entire modeling life-cycle. In recent years there has been much research on the model management component of a decision support system, aimed at model representation and manipulation.…”

On the integration of data and mathematical modeling languages

This paper examines Ways in which the addition of data modeling features can enhance the capabilities of mathematical modeling languages, and demonstrates how such integration might be achieved as an application of the embedded languages technique proposed by Bhargava and Kimbr-ougMDecision'making, and decision support systems, require the representation and manipulation of both data and mathematical models. Several data modeling languages as well as several mathematical modeling languages exist, but they have differences sets of capabilities. We motivate with a detailed example the need for the integration of these languages. We describe the benefits that might result, and claim that this could lead to a significant improvement in the functionality of model management systems. Then we present our approach for the integration of these languages, and specify how the claimed benefits are realized.
