SWISSland consists of various software components that communicate with one other via interfaces.
1. MySQL Database
- Accountancy data
- Simulation-control data for flow control and data-transfer control
- Group configuration data for forming population clusters and SWISSland communities
- Input and output data for illustrating behaviour algorithms in the decision-making process for each individual agent
2. Java Platform
- Modelling of database interfaces and program control
- Modelling and control of agent decision models
- Modelling of agent interactions
- Modelling of extrapolation to the entire sector
- Sequencing of model flow and interface function between the model components
3. GAMS Optimisation Models
- Input-and output-data processing tool
- Optimisation of agent production and investment decisions
- Calibration of the model
The information technology solution was implemented in collaboration with BMPI, Zurich
