Empirical Modelling Research Group This site belongs to the Empirical Modelling Research Group at the University of Warwick and contains material for students, researchers and anyone curious about Empirical Modelling.
The Empirical Modelling Group is doing ground-breaking research on developing interactive environments that are unusually open and experiential. Special principles and tools have been developed exclusively at Warwick in recent years with which to construct and explore a wide variety of models. The modeller works rather like an artist with a painting -- she can directly experience and modify the model throughout its construction according to her vision for the model.
In contrast to the products of traditional programming the models have an unusual quality of openness and continuous connection with personal experience. Empirical Modelling is not only a different approach to software development but also a kind of 'alternative computing' having significant and complementary contributions to make to many areas such as artificial intelligence, computer graphics, concurrent systems and educational technology.
