Abstract

English

Plant scientists use Functional and Structural Plant (FSP) Models to model the interactions between the biological functions and physical structures within a limited space-time range. To break through the limitation, an integration that compounds different FSP models could be a possible solution. However, the integration involves many technical dimensions and a generic software infrastructure for all integration cases is not possible. In this dissertation, we analyze the requirements of the integration with all the technical dimensions. Instead of an infrastructure, we propose a generic technical framework consisting of three technologies to allow the integration of different FSP models hosted on the same and different FSP modeling platforms in a flexible way. We demonstrate the usability of the framework by the implementation of a full infrastructure for the integration of two specific FSP models, and we illustrate the effectiveness of the infrastructure by different integrative scenarios.
