The CSV Input File Format

The system being modeled by Prescient is read from a set of CSV files. The CSV files and their format is based on the RTS-GMLC format. Prescient uses only a subset of the columns present in RTS-GMLC format. This document identifies the columns read by Prescient, their meaning, and how they are represented in the Egret model used by Prescient at runtime. Any additional columns be present in the input are ignored.
