Abstract

The intention of this project is to design and implement a simulation model by using Object-Oriented methodology. Simulation has been extensively applied to fields like ecosystem, stock market and aerospace. This project will concentrate on ecosystem. Much effort has been devoted to analyzing the characteristics of ecosystem and interactions among the elements of the ecosystem. Based on our findings, a simulation model was developed to extract and reflect the most fundamental activities in an ecosystem, such as trading, combating, reproduction, just to name a few. By building a simulation model, the ecosystem becomes analyzable and predictable. Important features of this project are the experimentation of the object-oriented paradigm and the utilization of UML and C++ language. This project is intended to serve as a base for those who aim to explore further in the field of simulation.
