Despite many commercial and industrial-strength frameworks being available, we claim that there is a definite niche for environmental-specific frameworks. We first introduce a general definition of what is an environmental integrated modelling framework, leading to an outline of the requirements for a generic software architecture for such frameworks. This identifies the need for a knowledge layer to support the modelling layer and an experimentation layer to support the execution of models.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The chapter then focuses on the themes of knowledge representation, model management and model execution. We advocate that appropriate knowledge representation and management tools can facilitate model integration and linking. We stress that a model development process adhering to industry standards and good practices, called &amp;ldquo;model engineering,&amp;rdquo; is to be pursued. We focus on the requirements of the experimental frame, which can ensure transparency and traceability in the execution of simulation scenarios and optimisation problems associated with complex integrated assessment studies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A promising trend for knowledge representation is the use of ontologies that have the capacity to elicit the meaning of knowledge in a manner that is logical, consistent and understandable by computers and the knowledge worker community. This new path in knowledge-based computing will support retention of institutional knowledge, while putting modelling back in the hands of modellers. Environmental modelling will then become a conceptual activity, focusing on model design rather than model implementation, with code generation being delegated to some degree to ontology-aware tools. In this respect, we envision the whole model lifecycle to change drastically, becoming more of a theoretical activity and less of a coding-intensive, highly engineering-oriented task.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franco Salerno</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emanuele Cuccillato</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robert Muetzelfeldt</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Francesco Giannino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Birendra Bajracharya</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paolo Caroli</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gaetano Viviano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anna Staiano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabrizio Cartenì,</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stefano Mazzoleni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gianni Tartari</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CONCEPT MAPS FOR COMBINING HARD AND SOFT SYSTEM THINKING IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SOCIO-ECOSYSTEMS</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Third Int.

However, the actual re-usability of models depends on a number of factors such as the accessibility of the source code, the compatibility of different binary platforms, and often it is left to the modellers own discipline and responsibility to structure a complex model in such a way that it is decomposed in smaller re-usable sub-components. What reusable and interchangeable means is also somewhat vague; although several approaches to build modelling frameworks have been developed, little attention has been dedicated to the intrinsic re-usability of components, in particular between different modelling frameworks. In this paper, we focus on how models can be linked together to build complex integrated models. We stress that even if a model component interface is clear and reusable from a software standpoint, this is not a sufficient condition for reusing a component across different integrated modelling frameworks. This reveals the need for adding rich semantics in model interfaces.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2-3</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>6</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alexey A.

By looking at  the underlying concepts of the software, we can make sure that we build  mathematically feasible models and that we get the most out of the data  and information that we have. This book shows how models can be analyzed  using simple math and software to generate meaningful qualitative  descriptions of system dynamics. This book shows that even without a  full analytical, mathematically rigorous analysis of the equations,  there may be ways to derive some qualitative understanding of general  behavior of a system. By relating some of the modeling approaches and  systems theory to real world examples the book illustrates how these  approaches can help understand concepts such as sustainability, peak  oil, adaptive management, optimal harvest and other practical  applications.                                      &lt;br /&gt;
