Component based environmental modelling using the JAMS framework

Current challenges in sustainable water resources management have created demand for integrated, flexible and easy to use environmental simulation models which are able to simulate the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the hydrological cycle with a sufficient degree of certainty. Along with these models various accompanying applications are needed in order to support the setup, application and evaluation of models or the search for optimized management alternatives. Among them are tools for automated parameterization and sensitivity analyses of models and graphical user interfaces that support model setup and visualization of simulation results.
