MoSeS (Modelling and Simulation for e-Social Science) is a research node of the National Centre for e-Social Science. MoSeS uses e-Science techniques to execute an events-driven model that simulates discrete demographic processes; this allows us to project the UK population 25 years into the future. This paper describes the architecture, simulation methodology and latest results obtained by MoSeS.

This paper reports on the progress that has been made in the Modelling and Simulation for e-Social Science (MoSeS) project at the University of Leeds. This project seeks to use e-Science techniques to develop a national demographic model and simulation of the UK population specified at the level of individuals and households. The architecture of MoSeS is presented and discussed, with particular...
