GroIMP stands for "Growth-grammar related Interactive Modelling Platform" and serves for simulating scenarios of structurally-explicit, physiology-based vegetation growth and develop-ment. Thus, it is a platform for specifying and running functional-structural plant models (FSPMs), also called "virtual plants". It employs the rule-based language XL (eXtended L-system language) which is an extension of Java and enables the execution of parallel graph grammars. Attributed graphs are the used data structures for plant architecture and function. The core of the software was implemented by Ole Kniemeyer in 2008. Since then it has been used in several international projects, but usage is limited by a missing documentation, a user interface which does not adhere to current standards, and some lack of interfacing and of distributed and parallel computing, which would be necessary to do simulations of larger groups of plants. The software shall be enhanced in these points, and a user-and-developer board shall be founded to ensure a sustainable further development of the software also after the project has finished. The board will then cooperate with the system administrator of the applicant's department.

GroIMP 代表“与生长语法相关的交互式建模平台”，用于模拟结构明确、基于生理学的植被生长和发育的场景。因此，它是一个用于指定和运行功能结构工厂模型（FSPM）（也称为“虚拟工厂”）的平台。它采用基于规则的语言 XL（扩展 L 系统语言），该语言是 Java 的扩展，可以执行并行图语法。属性图是用于工厂架构和功能的数据结构。该软件的核心由 Ole Kniemeyer 于 2008 年实现。此后，它已在多个国际项目中使用，但其使用受到以下限制：缺少文档、不符合当前标准的用户界面、以及缺乏接口以及分布式和并行计算，而这对于对较大的植物群进行模拟是必需的。软件应在这些方面得到增强，并应成立用户和开发者委员会，以确保项目完成后软件的可持续进一步发展。然后，委员会将与申请人所在部门的系统管理员合作。
