Abstract
This paper describes the main features of the CAMEL environment and the use of CARPET language for programming simulation models of the contamination of soils developed in the CABOTO project funded by the PCI ESPRIT programme. The CAMEL (Cellular Automata environMent for systEms modeLling) system is a parallel implementation of a software environment for the simulation and modelling of complex systems based on the cellular automata theory. CAMEL offers the computing power of a parallel computer although hiding the architecture issues to a user. Further, it provides a graphical user interface, a visualization tool and a high level language, called CARPET, to support rapid prototyping of a large number of applications in science and engineering.
