The SUM presented here has a specific focus on Modelling and Simulation in an e-Social Science context and introduces MoSeS.
MoSeS (Modelling and Simulation for e-Social Science) makes use of Grid Computing capabilities and allows exploring the practicality of developing real urban simulations which are calibrated using widespread social and behavioural data.
Although the use of Grid technologies is currently not common within social science research, many social scientists today want to investigate complex research questions, and therefore, MoSeS probes the benefit of applying e-Science techniques to develop a national demographic model and simulation of the UK population.
This SUM has been developed by the JISC-funded e-Infrastructure Use Cases and Service Usage Models (eIUS) project ( http://engage.ac.uk/eIUS , http://www.eius.ac.uk/) that aims to help UK researchers become more aware of the e-Infrastructure services that are available and how they can be successfully used to achieve specific research goals. eIUS is one of the JISC-funded e-Infrastructure community engagement and support projects (eIUS, ENGAGE, and e-Uptake) that intend to enhance and consolidate the existing e-Infrastructure technologies and to establish sustainable communities of use.
