Sorri, but I do know a site of this type.

Thank you. There is a French Website which presents (In French, Spanish and English) the drafts of what is geo-simulation. But no ex-nilo model to download and test: http://www.hypergeo.eu/spip.php?article311

I know it might be possible to develop it within NetLogo

Thank you Roeland. I've developped spatial simulation model by discrete events, and I'm looking for new models for testing and comparing the results. Did you use NetLogo before?

We invited a researcher from Dresden on a 3 days course for our polish students in Cracow. I think it is possible to discuss your model concept with a NetLogo specialist to see if it can be solved within this environment.

I have seen the fire spread modelling in NetLogo and also Floodrisk simulation is possible in this domain.

Traffic congestion might be difficult but not imposible.

Swarm intelligence is a typical NetLogo application

It is a good idea Roeland to be in contact with your colleague from Dresden. I'm going to test the possibilities of NetLogo

GeoMundus 2012, Lisbon, November 9-10, 2012

Call for Participation

http://www.geomundus.org/

GeoMundus is a symposium on different Geoscience disciplines including, but not limited to Geography, Earth and Environmental Studies, Geographic Information Science and Geoinformatics, Agriculture, Ecology and Environment, Disaster Management, and any other area in the broad field of Geoscience. This conference is organized by the students from the consortium of Erasmus Mundus (EM) International Master's program in Geospatial Technologies. It is a free of charge conference organized by students and for students. The conference will have participants from more than 25 countries, and is also an opportunity to hear from expert speakers from different fields of Geoscience.

We are working on two OpenSource platforms:

1) Multi-Agents simulation platform:

GAMA: http://code.google.com/p/gama-platform/

This is a well support platform for GIS and multi-agent. NetLogo is good but too closed for developers. GeoTools is also embedded inside this platform for GIS supports.

2) Workflows simulation platform:

Kepler: https://kepler-project.org/

This is a well embedding platform, you can call R for spatial mention!

Cheers,

Viet

Hi,

You should also have a look to Grass [1]. It's one of the best GIS Open Source Software. And you have some simulation model inside.

Hi Viet,

Thank you for your links and the model developped. I'm going to look it. It seems very interesting as NetLog.

Cheers,

Sébastien

Hello Arnaud,

Good, I've already tested simulation model in GRASS.

Thank a lot,

Best, Sébastien

Hi Mr. Gadal,

I think GAMA now can replace all related tasks of NetLogo. In some special cases, you can add new operations into your models by the role of developer (not only as a modellers). Some new publications say that this platform is the first one which supports real multi-scales model in multi-agents.

I hope this model can satisfy your needs,

Vincent I am impressed by the MIT network analyst you have posted. Great, and FREE, software! Thanks!

Anyone had a look at MDiG? [1]

Is a complete population-based modeling system. Mostly devised to simulate animal species expansion, but can easily extended.

Since is tightly integrated in GRASS GIS, IMHO is a tool worth expanding.

Not sure what kind of research you are doing. For empirical regional science, the state of the art is PySal: http://code.google.com/p/pysal/

You would have to write your own simulations. However, if you want to take regional data and do scenario planning, I would try UrbanSim: http://www.urbansim.org/

Both of these have big learning curves and rely on Python.

I don't know your mind, if you want simulate hydrological model, you can use of HEC series. for example HecHMS and HecGeo-HMS model. these model are free. if you want create geographical map you can use of GIS software such as ArcGIS and ILWIS.

Hey,

Do you know TerraME? It is a framework for environmental modeling, supports multi modeling paradigms (e.g. agent, automata, etc.), has a high modeling language and is intregrated with a GIS library.

If you are instrested, visit www.terrame.org

Hi Antonio, thank you, I don't know TerraME. I'm going to look it. Best, Sébastien

Hi Richard, I'm working on urban studies; more especialy on the spatial modeling of the metropolization processes by remote sensing and GIS. Urban vision seems a good approach for my applications in urban tourism. Thank you. Sébastien
