References for technical description of ED 2.2

Marcos Longo edited this page Feb 10, 2021 · 2 revisions

The conceptual model framework is available in several publications, listed below in reverse chronological order. Additional model developments will be added to this list as new features are merged to the main ED-2.2 distribution.

Hint: Check the supporting information of these papers too, often the technical part will be there.
