Event-based models (EBMs) are a type of computer simulation that describes the dynamics of a system through discrete events. In contrast to traditional mathematical models that model continuous changes in time, EBMs focus on the moments at which significant changes in the system occur.
EBMs offer several advantages over traditional mathematical models:
EBMs are used in a wide range of applications in theoretical biology, including:
An EBM can be used to simulate the interactions between predators and prey in an ecosystem. The model can simulate the birth, death, hunting, and reproduction of both species. The simulation can be used to study how the interactions between predators and prey affect the dynamics of the ecosystem, such as the population sizes of both species and the stability of the ecosystem.
EBMs also have some drawbacks:
