Modelling and simulation of complex systems can create scientific research tools that allow the inaccessible dynamic aspects of systems to be explored in ways that are not possible in live systems. In some scientific contexts, there is a need to be a... Read More about Filling gaps in simulation of complex systems: the background and motivation for CoSMoS.

A tutorial on metamodelling for grammar researchers (2014)
Journal Article
Paige, R. F., Kolovos, D. S., & Polack, F. A. (2014). A tutorial on metamodelling for grammar researchers. Science of Computer Programming, 96(P4), 396-416. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scico.2014.05.007

A metamodel has been defined as: a model of a model; a definition of a language; a description of abstract syntax; and a description of a domain. Because of these varied definitions, it is difficult to explain why metamodels are constructed, what can... Read More about A tutorial on metamodelling for grammar researchers.

Principled simulation of cell proliferation dynamics using the CoSMoS approach (2014)
Journal Article
Polack, F., & Droop, A. (2014). Principled simulation of cell proliferation dynamics using the CoSMoS approach. Natural Computing, 14(1), 63-82. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11047-014-9468-z

A collaboration between cancer biologists and academic software engineers has been exploring the development of an agent-based simulator to inform and support work on the dynamics of cell proliferation in the study of prostate disorders. The research... Read More about Principled simulation of cell proliferation dynamics using the CoSMoS approach.
