2. Discussion Items Object Modeling System (OMS) Framework  Overview ARS and NRCS IT Coordination on Modeling Collaboration

3. Object Modeling System Modeling Framework which supports the development/application lifecycle OMS facilitates  Code reuse and sharing  Capture of legacy knowledge  Collaborative development  Database access  Verification / validation  QA / QC and certification  Multi-purposing  Maintenance and change management Component Integration, Model Development Model Application, Analysis Component Development, Test

4. Current Status of ARS Models ARS has more than 100 models for a variety of purposes – component and system models. Developed over time as a need was identified. Used the best technology available at the time. The maintenance and upkeep are proving very difficult and expensive. Their alteration as new needs arise is not easy. They may not give the same results.

5. OMS Benefits Supports building of new models and decision support tools from reusable/standardized components from a library Facilitates long term maintainability and improvement of existing ARS models by decomposing them into their science component parts Leads to “Customized Modeling” – fitting the model to the problem and customer need Enhances deployment of new tools to action agencies (NRCS) and leverages established databases

6. OMS Benefits Supports QA/QC at module and model levels Documentation and peer review of modules Reduce duplication of effort in natural resource modeling Runs under the Java platform.  Support for Fortran/C/C++ Uses the “Netbeans” technology for module and data formats and as an open tool platform. Component Integration, Model Development Model Application, Analysis Component Development, Test

12. OMS Status NRCS has adopted OMS into its computing infrastructure for science components and applications. A joint ARS/NRCS OMS development group and infrastructure is being established at Fort Collins. PRMS and RZWQM have been integrated as proof of concept in the OMS framework. NRCS is building the science components of its Engineering Field Tools in OMS. OMS Version 1.1 in test, containing tools to create, test, and build models.

13. OMS Status (cont’d) NRCS has begun to convert RUSLE2 to OMS for repurposing in AnnAGNPS. Discussions initiated to convert and/or build components and models in OMS for CEAP. NRCS/ARS programmer to build model component code base in OMS per priority list.
