Research: Understand/propose potential integration or not with EMA Workbench

[jackiekazil]

From this paper: https://proceedings.systemdynamics.org/2016/proceed/papers/P1311.pdf

From this large toolbox of Python modules mesa was used to implement the ABM (Masad and Kazil, 2015) and PySD (Houghton, and Siegel, 2015) was used for an simple conversion of a SD model implemented in Vensim ® into an equivalent equitation based model in Python. Furthermore, the complete architecture was embedded into the Python based Exploratory Modeling and Analysis (EMA) Workbench (Kwakkel and Pruyt, 2015). EMA is used to set up experiments and perform advanced result analysis.

This is EMA Workbench: https://pypi.org/project/ema-workbench/

I haven't had a chance to think about this. I am putting this in a ticket for my later self or for someone else to pick up.

Questions:

• What is EMA Workbench?
• How might it integrate with Mesa?
• Is there value in endorsing or illustrating this in some way?

This might help with (a small part) of that
