| 2 | 2 | MUSCLE - Multiscale Coupling Library and Environment is a platform independent system to couple multiscale simulations. It provides the software framework to make multiscale models as defined by the [[http://www.mapper-project.eu/|MAPPER project]] or complex automata as defined in |
| 3 | 3 | the [[http://www.complex-automata.org/|COAST project]]. The implemented generic coupling mechanism reduces common problems and facilitate the development of multiscale simulations consisting of a multitude of submodels. The resulting implementation allows the coupling of legacy as well as dedicated codes with only minor adjustments. |
