Statistical and Behavioural Model Analysis Tools Lecturers: Tmahr@aitia - Ai Lgulyas@aitia - Ai Rlegendi@aitia - Ai

This document introduces two statistical and behavioral modeling tools: MEME and PET v2.0. MEME is a model exploration module that enables parameter space explorations and sensitivity analysis to help modelers explore their models. PET v2.0 is a participatory extension framework that allows models to be integrated into a web interface so users can administer, run, and participate in simulations through a web browser. The workshop will provide an introductory tutorial on using these tools through a supplied example model, requiring no programming from participants.

Workshop description
In our proposed worksop, we would like to introduce a set of loosely coupled software
components intended to help modellers to explore the behaviour of their models either
by performing "smart" parameter space explorations and/or participatory experiments
by executing their models within a web-based environment.
The first tool on which an introductory tutorial is given is called The Model Exploration
Module [1] or MEME, a generic tool that enables orchestrating experiments, managing
results. MEME supports model analysis over a range of simulation platforms (RepastJ,
NetLogo, Mason). It was designed to run large-scale parameter space explorations on
grid/cloud systems or sensitivity analysis through statistical methods based
on techniques known in the literature as Design of Experiments.
The second framework is called the The Participatory Extension v2.0 [2] or PET v2.0,
which is a further developed version of the original PET [3], a robust and generic web
framework that allows modellers to extend their models to participatory simulations. It
is a web application that incorporates agent-based simulations into a web interface
compatible with any of the major web browsers, enabling users to administrate, run and
participate in simulations in a way that they are familiar with, applying the mechanisms
and practices they use every day while browsing web-pages and using other web-based
applications. Applications of PET v2.0 may include online case studies for demonstrative
and teaching purposes, or to conduct laboratory experiments for behavioural studies of
a model.
The tutorial has no particular requirements, but experience in implementing agent-
based models is an advantage. The frameworks are introduced through a supplied
model, no programming is necessary.
