However, it still presents limitations in the management of the process to generate the simulations from the initial conceptual models. This makes it difficult to reuse the knowledge from available models and to adapt it to different hypotheses. This paper proposes the use of metamodels in order to define explicitly the core concepts of a problem domain and to differentiate the aspects involved in the process. A case study for posted pricing institutions shows how to define the related metamodel and use it to address alternative situations in these auctions. The case study drives the discussion on the advantages and limitations that metamodelling can bring to social simulation Support from the project “Agent-based Modelling and Simulation of Complex Social Systems (SiCoSSys)”, supported by the Spanish Council for Science and Innovation, with grants TIN2008-06464- C03-01 and TIN2008-06464-C03-02, the Junta de Castilla y León with grant GREX251/2009 and Caja Burgos with grant 2009/00148/001. application/pdf eng NATL INST R&D INFORMATICS-ICI Studies in informatics and control. 2011, V. 20, n. 1, p. 55-66 http://sic.ici.ro/?page_id=1634 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/MICINN/TIN2008-06464- C03-01 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/MICINN/TIN2008-06464-C03-02 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/JCyL/GREX251/2009 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/CajaBurgos/2009/00148/001 Accesibility Usability Heuristic evaluation Municipal web sites Industrial management Gestión de empresas Metamodelling for agent-based modelling: an application for posted pricing institutions info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
