Rule-based modelling with the XL/GroIMP software
نویسنده
چکیده
In this software demonstration, the concept of “Relational Growth Grammars” will be illustrated in its concrete implementation, namely the high-level language XL which combines the rule-based programming paradigm of graph grammars and L-systems with the imperative and object-oriented programming paradigm of Java. The suitability of XL as a description language of rule-based ALife models will be shown in several examples.

Developing Multiscale Simulation Models using the Software GroIMP
GroIMP (Growth grammar based Interactive Modelling Platform) is an open-source software tool focused on the development of functional-structural plant and forest stand models. It encompasses a domain-specific programming language, Extended L-System language (XL), which provides standard Java language features and additional rule-based graph rewriting mechanisms. A model with meaningful 3D repre...
متن کاملThe rule-based language XL and the modelling environment GroIMP, illustrated with simulated tree competition
Functional-structural plant modelling has to face three challenges, all dealing with complexity issues: the complexity of the modelled biological system itself, the complexity of integrating different sources of knowledge into one consistent modelling framework, and the complexity of implementation and simulation on a computer [1]. All three aspects can lead to long and obscure code when a stan...
متن کاملGroimp as a Platform for Functional- Structural Modelling of Plants
The concept of relational growth grammars (RGG) is a recent effort to address the needs of functional-structural plant modelling. The programming language XL is the first language that implements this concept; it is made available for plant modelling as part of the modelling platform GroIMP. In this paper, an introduction to relational growth grammars and XL will be given using simple but instr...

The incorporation of some genetic and physiological processes in a developmental model of Hordeum vulgare L. (barley) is presented. The model exhibits different hierarchical scales and has been conceived as a Relational Growth Grammar (RGG). RGG is a new formalism that has been developed as an extension of L-Systems and implemented using a new modelling language, eXtended Lsystems (XL). Models ...
