Modelling and Simulation for e-Social Science (MoSeS)

Moses is a three year project running at the University of Leeds from September 2005.

The objective of the project is to develop representation of the entire UK population as individuals and households, together with a package of modelling tools which allows specific research and policy questions to be addressed. The components of the Moses project are a baseline representation of the UK population; a dynamic modelling capability; a grid-enabled portal for policy analysis; and a series of application scenarios.

The baseline representation comprises a synthetic model of the whole UK population. The dynamic model will provide rich projections of future changes in the demographic composition and behaviour of the population. The project will support case study scenarios in a variety of Domain applications with specific reference to health, business and transport, including evaluation of wider-ranging policy scenarios.

The model will have a grid-enabled portal which provides access to data, scenarios and modelling tools within a decision support environment.
