I noticed that (but have not had time to play with it yet).

The topic of theses (both in Plant Bio and Computer Science) is multispatiotemporal modeling. The built-in concurrency and distributed computing aspects make doing this kind of work trivial by comparison. Some of the work I have done in the past was to interface glyph/GUI-type visual programming/modeling tools (think SciCos, Stella, Simile here) to my work with full runtime polymorphic meta-modeling. I've been wanting to extend these ideas to something like Boinc. For my first thesis (in Plant Bio) I coded up SIMD, MIMD, and SISD parallel machines to run all this, but wanted to investigate redoing this using some of the state of the art distributed techniques. When I can break away 2 moments, I'll see if I can come up with something worth trying to integrate the two efforts. Regardless, this all sounds cool.
