These economic models are constructed and translated in a different way from object oriented programming. There is no clear distinction between classes and objects, as a class only becomes an instance gradually as translations are made, and the models are visualised and represented to users.
At present the main focus is on extending the translation to interactive representations in Java and JavaScript. These will allow users to amend the parameter values of models and to see the result recalculated.
Once all or most of the translations are fully working, I'll concentrate on adding multiple models. Each model could then be translated automatically to many different visualisations/representations. I'll concentrate mainly on economic models, but might also eventually include other kinds of equation based models.

This blog is about my PhD research (now finished) at University of the West of England into User Driven Modelling. This is to make it possible for people who are not programmers to create software. I create software that converts visual trees into computer code. My web site is http://www.cems.uwe.ac.uk/~phale/. I'm continuing this research and the blog. My PhD is at http://eprints.uwe.ac.uk/17918/ and a journal paper at http://eprints.uwe.ac.uk/17817/.
