Computational Tools and Modeling Environments
- Spatial Modelling Environment SME is an
environment supporting collaborative modeling and simulation of spatial systems utilizing
transparent distributed computing.
- A Widely Extensible SIMulation Environment (Awesime
) is a C++ library which exploits a shared memory
architecture using threads to represent individual tasks;
- Discrete Event System Specification interfaced to Geographic
Information System (DEVS-C++
) is a project to develop a high performance modelling
and simulation environment to
support modelling of large-scale, high resolution landscape systems;
- EcoSim
designed to support individual-oriented
modelling and simulation of ecological systems on parallel machines such as
the ParsyTec and CM-5 ;
- Geographic Environmental Modeling System (GEMS
) for airshed and pollution modelling;
- Swarm
is a multi-agent simulation of complex systems [Langton:96];
- Teritorially Explicit Massively Parallel Ecological Simulation Tool (TEMPEST
) which uses the MasPar massively parallel
architecture.
- Modular Modeling System (MMS.
