| Popis: | The engineering-based simulation language, SLAM (Simulation Language for Alternative Modeling) is proposed as a method for developing models of insect systems. The advantages of the language are its ease of use, availability, convenience, and versatility. The use of SLAM would allow the scientists involved in the modeling effort to concentrate on biological processes rather than computer programming. An example is given in which the insect population on a single plant is modeled over a 60 day period. The model is very simple yet performs quite well. Results of the simulation run compare favorably with field collected data. The significance of the example is in illustrating the potential of SLAM in modeling insect systems. Much of the information required to develop models for many insects already exists. The use of a simulation language such as SLAM could greatly simplify and speed the development and implementation of these models. |
