“…However, this approach to documenting models has several weaknesses: due its textual nature, it is inherently ambiguous and furthermore, it does not allow for documentation of all the relevant details and thus hampers the reproduction of models, as noted by Amouroux et.al. They charted the strengths and weaknesses of the ODD protocol and suggest the addition of an "Execution environment" section to aid the model replication [1]. A different approach to documenting models recognizes the common traits of agent-based modeling and object-oriented programming and suggests to expand the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to accommodate the specifics of ABM.…”

The introduction of the new computing science curriculum in the Netherlands in 2019 raises the need for new evidence-based teaching materials that include practical assignments and guidelines for their assessment. As a part of our research project on teaching Computational Science (modeling and simulation), we participate in these efforts and developed a curriculum intervention including a practical assignment and an accompanying assessment instrument consisting of grading rubrics based on the SOLO taxonomy. In this research paper we focus on the assessment instrument. We describe its development and report on a pilot study carried out in the secondary computing science course implementing the curriculum intervention. The instrument proved to be reliable and effective in tracing high and low levels of the students' achievements in modeling and simulation projects and exposed the expected differences in performance levels of various groups of students, which renders it useful for both formative and summative assessment. Furthermore, our application of the instrument has provided new insights into the needs of specific groups of students to receive instruction prior to and during the work on the assignments.

“…For instance, the ODD protocol proposed in [10] is a first step towards the elicitation of expert knowledge, but remains an ambiguous textual template [3]. On the contrary, using powerful formalisms originated from physical multi-scale processes [8], or from molecular biology [13], would be inappropriate as regards epidemiological concerns.…”

In order to recommend better control measures in public or animal health, epidemiologists incorporate ever-finer details in their models, from individual diversity to public policies, which often involve several observation scales. Due to the variety of modelling paradigms, it becomes more and more difficult to compare hypotheses and outcomes, all the more that the increased complexity of simulation programs is not yet counterbalanced by design principles nor by software engineering methods. We propose in this paper to use the multi-level agent-based paradigm to integrate existing methods within a common interface, provide a separation between concerns and reduce the part of code devoted to model designers. We illustrate our approach with an application to the Q fever disease in cattle.
