ABSTRACT
One of the goals of the AMBR Model Comparison was to make the simulation environment for the comparison available to other researchers so that they might have the opportunity to use it to extend our initial accomplishments in novel ways. This book and its accompanying CD accomplish that goal. Nevertheless, the development and use of computational process models and the simulation environments with which they will interact are challenging endeavors. Each simulation engine (such as that used in AMBR) has particular requirements and limitations, and these should be understood as well as possible before starting a new modeling and simulation effort. This chapter provides detailed information regarding the simulation environment used in the AMBR Model Comparison and serves as a useful resource for anyone considering the use of this software in future research or for those considering the development of new software for similar human behavior representation (HBR) research purposes.
