Originally intended to be the “agriculture and food module ” of a conceptual integrated world model created to be the successor of WORLD III, the model has been worked out as a stand alone module or holon. The aim of the modelling effort was to create a model for generating insight in human induced worldwide biomass production and its effects, mainly from a sustainable development point of view, without cluttering the model’s users with to much detail. This line of reasoning led to the development of a strongly aggregated model. The resulting simplicity of COSMOPAD allows for relatively straightforward collection of and integration with data, easier interpretation of results and offers a lot of possibilities for functioning within other models. As a matter of fact COSMOPAD still fits seamlessly within the Insight for TERRA model. A disadvantage of this high level approach is that the onl...

Unfortunately not many techno-economic business models to evaluate the return of these investments are available. The construction of a business case for care for the elderly as they move through different levels of dependency and the effect of introducing an eCare service, is the intended application of the model. The simulation model presented in this paper allows for modeling evolution of market shares of competing care providers. Four tiers are defined, based on the dependency level of the elderly, for which the market shares are determined. The model takes into account available capacity of the different care providers, in-and outflow distribution between tiers and churn between providers within tiers.

The ERAnets project developed and applied tools and methods to evaluate the networks of collaboration in information society technologies (IST) within the European Research Area (ERA), focusing on calls 1 and 2 of the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6).
