Reusability of model components for environmental simulation – Case studies for integrated coastal zone management
Model constructs in environmental models are seldom reused beyond the project lifetime or in other modelling studies. A library of reusable model components could facilitate the maintenance of existing models and make the design of new models more efficient. Although component-based design is the common standard in software engineering and manufacturing few examples are yet found in environmental science. The multi-disciplinary project SPICOSA used a common, component-based simulation framework for environmental modelling, based on 18 case studies through Europe. The development of high-quality model components with potential for reuse turned out to be a challenge despite of the guidelines and tutorial examples provided. Well-designed components are of appropriate granularity, encapsulated, with a limited use of connectors and proper data handling. Ultimately, the success of a model library depends on a sufficient set of quality components with complementary functionalities, a framework for quality control, and support of the environmental modelling community. ; JRC.H.8-Sustainability Assessment
