A PC based simulation model of refugee nutrituation requirements.
The computer must run on a Windows system. I was thinking that it could be written in Access - Visual Basic. This first model would be limited in scope, but must be written so it can be expanded to include additional operator input variables and if - then rules. As the model is revised additional output variable would be added to the simulation model.
The intent of the model is for its use as a training tool for ahigh school and college students, if the simulation tool was extensive enough than actual relief providers could evaluate possible stratagies. As a student user learned more about refugee issues they could use this knowlege to build more complex scenairos and "what if" situations.
The ability to create simple graphs based on output data is required.
Text messages as an output for each simulation cycle is required. The results of a given simulation period would be presented to the user in a combination of a numerical table and written paragraphs.
The ability to ask the simulation an expert type question (ask a doctor a question....) given very specific inputs is required.
The ability to present full color pictures as a background is required.
