Meta-modeling tools supporting policy analysis must meet the requirements of credibility, transparency, replicability, interactivity with users, and integration across sub-models.
Models have been growing in complexity and size, and are often developed by integration of sub-models and/or data developed by different teams. Hence the need for Web-enabled structured modeling, multi-criteria analysis, and infrastructure for sharing research databases. The aim of this work by ASA is to support collaborative interdisciplinary research for decision support.
Web-enabled integration of heterogeneous modeling resources (models, data, and modeling tools) is implemented as the generic DSS kernel prototype; this work is part of the FP7-funded project “Energy Efficiency and Risk Management in Public Buildings (EnRiMa)”.
