Abstract: Issues concerning practical aspects of implementing and developing biophysical simulation models are presented. Several questions researchers should ask when considering using a simulation model are discussed. Unfortunately, there are no definitive answers to these questions. Standard programming, documentation and interaction between users and developers are recommendations made to developers.
