ADEPT: a visual tool for organising simulations

Published: 08 July 2010 Publication History

Abstract

ADEPT is a visual tool for creating and managing groups of related biophysical systems simulations that are run by the agricultural modelling framework 'APSIM'. It was written in Java on the Eclipse Rich Client Platform. It features a user-friendly and novel GUI that aids agricultural systems modellers by presenting information about their simulations in a useful and meaningful format and allows them to manipulate that information.
