Abstract :
Natural organic matter (NOM) is a heterogeneous mixture of compounds affecting ecosystem function and drinking water treatment. An agent-based stochastic model simulates NOM transformations, allowing forward modeling of NOM´s synthesis and degradation. Its use of Java and Web technologies makes the simulation model accessible to scientists worldwide.
