+<p> <br> Dr. Volker Grimm has been working as an ecological modeler at the UFZ since 1992 and teaching at the University of Potsdam since 1999, where I also hold a professorship in Theoretical Ecology since 2012. Since 1999, he has been trying to improve the practice of agent-based modeling (ABM), resulting in a monograph for ecologists and a textbook for all ABM users. In 2006, he and others proposed a general format for describing ABM, the ODD protocol, which was updated in 2010 and 2020. He has also introduced a standard format for documenting the entire modeling process, called TRACE documents. He is currently working on a clone of ODD for model integration and on establishing "Reusable Building Blocks" for ABMs.  </p>
