Abstract
A modeling solution, which enables various users to create, use, and evaluate models, such as scientific models, in various scenarios is provided. To this extent, the modeling solution can define a model using one or more model components, each of which is configured to implement a modeling function using a set of standard execution rules. Additionally, the modeling solution can manage attribute data for each model/model component, which can include evaluation data for the corresponding model/model component. A user can review the attribute data and decide on a model/model component to use in a scenario. Subsequently, the user can provide initialization data for the scenario. The scenario can be executed, and result data for the scenario can be stored together with the initialization data. Users also can evaluate the scenario. In an embodiment, multiple users are classified into multiple tiers, and evaluation data is managed for each tier, thereby allowing users to effectively evaluate the model/model component among groups of users with similar concerns.
