<P><FONT SIZE=2>(Sorry for cross-posting) This is an announcement of the official release of software for creating system dynamics models using nothing but a web-browser. This software is constructed of 100% Open Source software, and leverages such geospatial products as PostGIS, UMN MapServer and OpenLayers. User accounts are free, and registration is simple. The system can be accessed at:<BR>

WOOOMM 1.0 (WOOOMM is Online Object Oriented Meta Modeling) is the initial release of a system for creating collaborative models of dynamic systems. This release was actually preceded by the WHO (Web Hydrology Objects) system, and is repackaged and renamed in recognition that the goals of the system extend far beyond the realm of hydrology. This modeling system aims to be a robust tool for creating models of dynamic systems in a collaborative web-based environment. These models may be created from scratch, using only the standard object components in WOOOMM, or by integrating other existing models that have been coupled with WOOOMM, and thus creating an integrated meta-model.<BR>
