Abstract
A component-based simulation framework is a favorable choice for parallel multiscale simulations, which require a dedicated coupling component to support flexible data communication/exchange, computational parallelism, and on-demand dynamic load balancing. In this paper, a coupling component (the Coupler) was designed to support integrated parallel multimodeling. An integrated ecological multimodeling, part of the across trophic level system simulation (ATLSS) for Everglades ecosystem restoration, has been used to demonstrate the advantage of the Coupler for natural resource management applications.
