Software for complex studies of social-ecological and economic systems based on Region models: an analytical review

The article presents a historical overview and current state in the development of software that supports the research of social ecological and economic systems based on the “Region” models. The review covers development from the mid-1970s to the present.
The analysis of publications, reports and, where it was possible, documentation was carried out. The architecture of software systems, their main features and implementation methods were considered and analyzed. To represent some aspects of software, UML diagrams are exploited. The main purposes of considered software systems are the following: calculation experiment and scenario analysis, solving optimization and normalization problems, analyzing model properties and identifying parameters. The classification and comparison of software were carried out, then conclusions are drawn and future works delineated. (In Russian).
