Dear Michael
That's great - I wasn't aware of these two sites which are both really
helpful and I'll follow them through. The issue on GRASS's
scriptability is something of a double-edged sword in that it makes it
much simpler to develop models in various languages and call them
inside
the script, but then there often seems to be a performance hit in
terms
of CPU or file IO. The permutation testing that goes with the
sensitivity analysis of many ABMs probably accentuates this issue.
Perhaps linkage through the new GRASS Extension Manager might speed up
processing a little, but I suspect it's more a case of revisiting some
of my coding, to make it a little less clumsy! Judging by the
number of
pdfs on agent-based models on your site, I've a lot of reading to
catch
up on.
It's a fast moving target.
What's the relationship between the openabm list and the grass-abm one
hosted at osgeo which I've just stumbled across? The activity on the
latter does, unfortunately, seem fairly low.
The grass-abm list at osgeo was started when we were in the planning
stages for the NSF-funded workshop that launched OpenABM. OpenABM is
generic to ABM related issues; grass-abm is specific to GRASS and
ABM. I'd like to see more traffic on both.
Michael
