Possible integration of pymt & agentpy based model

[OliPerkins1987]

Hi there,

I am about to start building a global model that represents human impacts on wildfires. I am deciding which model framework to use as an architecture and am looking at Agentpy and BMI.

For an agent-based model, Agentpy would be an easier framework to use, e.g. by making the implementation of aspects of ABM (different agent classes, agent memory etc) easier. However, I would be very keen to try and integrate the model with the pymt structure - which would at present be the major benefit of using BMI.

Would you be interested in exploring the integration of an Agentpy-based model with the pymt? I thought developing this architecture could be a useful infrastructure to have for human-natural systems modelling. If so, let me know and let's have a chat.

All best,

Hi Oli,

I apologize for the delayed response--I was out on vacation.

The ability to couple ABMs and physical models is something that CSDMS is really interested in, and a capability that we lack in pymt. Let's talk more--my email address is [email protected]. Maybe we could schedule a chat over Zoom?
