Plant growth modeling and vegetation dynamics: System dynamic modelling is a very important research area in ecology. We consider different spatial and temporal scales of modelling simulations.....more »

Web-based learning tool:

Recently, many efforts have been devoted to the implementation of web based learning tools, that have found widespread diffusion in high schools, graduate and undergraduate universities classes. They enable the fruition of educational materials through a web used user interface and they often implement the same cognitive model that is beyond a traditional course.
The aim of this work is to present SIRMM (Searchable Information Repository of Mathematical Models), an interactive environment for mathematical teaching and learning within scientific disciplines. It provides a mathematical common and unifying framework to teach scientific and technical disciplines such as physics, engineering, biology and finance, in which mathematical modeling and data analysis play a major role. It enables the development of training paths that are both interactive and multidisciplinary, in which mathematics is used to easier the understanding and analysis of scientific problems, building and solving ad hoc models.
