RS3: Plant ecology models (York, CS) Applying CoSMoS to a rich complex biological system: re-engineering an existing large plant ecology simulation (a million plants), and scaling to orders of magnitude more plants.

Teodor is supervised by Dr Fiona Polack and Dr Jim Bown

Tim Hoverd

RS4: Generative patterns (York, CS) Investigating fully generative pattern languages, how their use affects software architectures, and how they can benefit CoSMoS.

Tim is supervised by Prof Susan Stepney

Jenny Owen
