Introduction
We have chosen to do a Cellular Automaton to corroborate two things:
- Double Check the Game Theory results with a nice shiny plot
- Observe Plant development with the C vs N economy at the Niche
Background
Cellular Automatons rely on rules to calculate the next state, from t to t+1. Kappa uses rules to extrapolate differential equations (via the über-strange concept of "Fragments") and thus obtain the changes from application, to application. Seeing the analogy of these approaches, we chose to do our CA with Kappa.
Tool
We will be using Rule-Based-Modelling approaches, id est [http://kappalanguage.org/ Kappa]. We are using the [http://kappamodeler.github.com/rulestudio/ RuleStudio] plugin for the [http://www.eclipse.org/ Eclipse] Environment / Suite. We have some past experience with Kappa, our model for last year's project WiFi Coli relied heavily on it, and we are lightly involved in the [http://groups.google.com/group/kappa-users Kappa use] community.
Results
Still running!
