: Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is a program development method designed for experts in modeling, but not in programming, and it has not been widely accepted yet. In this paper, we propose a new program development method that enables modeling experts to develop a program based on the dynamic model description in accordance with the modeling method in their domain. Furthermore, we discuss the structure of a programming language specialized for this modeling method and the modeling environment to develop this new program development method.

In this paper, we discuss how to build a model by SOARS VisualShell intuitively and explain its architecture. SOARS (Agent based simulation modeling language) SOARS Project (http://www.soars.jp), Tanuma et al. (Post-proceedings of AESCS04. Springer, Japan, pp 49-56, 2004) and Tanuma and Deguchi (Inst Electron Inf Commun Eng D J90-D(9): [2415][2416][2417][2418][2419][2420][2421][2422] 2007) is a programming language to model social phenomena by agent-based simulation. We aim to make SOARS a simulation description language by which a domain expert can simulate social interactions occurred in the real world by ones conceptual model intuitively. Therefore, a support tool for realizing and achieving specialized concepts is necessary for a domain expert to build and run a simulation model based on his/her only domain knowledge without possessing complex programming skill, and SOARS VisualShell is an application to support such intuitive modeling by SOARS. BackgroundIn this paper, we focus on the agent-based simulation modeling of social phenomena. By agent-based simulation, we can model a system composed of agents who make decisions autonomously, and simulate the interactions between them. On the other hand, big data analysis is becoming more important in IoT era, for experts in divergent fields, and it is becoming challenging yet promising to construct an agent-based simulation model by applying the big data [3]. We consider it important to design IoT or IoE, which handle the interrelationship among autonomous agents such as real person and things on the internet, by using agentbased simulation. As we have already implemented Pub/Sub(the standard protocol for IoT) library for SOARS, it is possible to communicate the agent of IoT through the broker [1].T. Kurata ( ) • H. Deguchi • M.
