This is what we actually did at the Summer School on OMS3. Here you will find slides and material (actually, it is already presented in the Colorado State University site), but I will document here a little more. (Still a work in progress)

Monday - Introduction, Component-based Modeling Concepts
The water tank example is very simple, but very illustrative of what a model is. Today there is a tendency to think lumped models as a set of tanks with rules for moving water. I will do a post soon for it.
14:00 - 17:30 OMSBasic Building Blocks (cont.) Step By Step
Presentation, prj-adige.zip, prj-snow.zip
References on JGrass-NewAGE can be found here. References on the Horton Machine can be found here. Maybe for most of you is a mystery what Pfafstetter numbering is. You can find information here. If someone has further doubts on components, they are documented on the GEOFRAME blog.
Thursday Modeling Applications II
