SimNoise: Simulating the Impact of Noise Annoyance on Intra-urban Residential Migration
Authors of the model: Cécile Tannier and Hélène Houot (ThéMA, University of Franche-Comté, Besançon, France)
Creation date: August 2003
The goal of the SimNoise model is to evaluate the impact of traffic noise on residential [hyp209; location dynamics]. It allows the calculation of the probability that the agents living in a given spatial unit will leave this location because of traffic noise.
The mathematical formalisation of the SimNoise model is of a probabilistic nature. The basis for (...)
Fractalyse: Fractal Analysis of Patterns (surfaces or lines)
Authors of the application: Gilles Vuidel, Pierre Frankhauser, and Cécile Tannier (ThéMA, Besançon, France)
Using the [hyp245; fractal geometry], it is possible to highlight [hyp249; hierarchical phenomena] in [hyp261; spatial systems], but also to identify and to locate the thresholds in such organizations. Moreover, it is possible to classify the spatial systems according to their form and to compare them either with some observed fractal structures or with structures that have been (...)
Peuplement: Simulation of Size Differenciated Urban Growth
Author of the model: Jean-Luc BONNEFOY (University of Aix-Marseille, France)
Creation date:
initial: 2001
of this version: 2001
Starting from a pattern of cities of identical sizes, the model shows differentiated urban growth in a space where the flow of migrants is either constant or variable. The model is of interest because it shows the relative speed with which urban differentiation emerges with respect to two variables:
the role of the positions (rank) of the cities,
the wages. (...)

3D-IMA: Simulation of the Visual Impact of a Planning Project
Author of the model: Kamal SERRHINI
Creation date:
The goals of 3D-IMA:
simulation of visual impacts of a (punctual or linear) planning project on the landscape;
taking part in the multicriterion estimation process of the layouts or in the localisation of a development;
determination of spaces (landscapes, communities, residents) having priority with respect to the French grant called "1% landscape and development".
The principles of the model result from the Euclidean geometry applied (...)
RamCO: An integrated assessment tool for sustainable coastal zone management
RamCo is the first prototype of an information system, which is to evolve eventually into a Generic Decision Support System for the Integrated Assessment of Sustainable Coastal Zone Management problems. The ultimate aim is to develop a system that will be applicable for the purpose of (1) rapid assessment, to (2) a wide range of coastal zone management problems, in (3) most of the coastal zones of the world. RamCo was financed by and is a product of the National Institute for Coastal and (...)
Read the following... Map Comparison Kit
The Map Comparison Kit offers algorithms interactively explore different aspects of map similarity. It allows the comparison of maps at different levels of abstraction. It includes standard methods such as kappa and percentage of agreement as well as some methods that were more recently developed such as fuzzy kappa and a moving window based comparison of landscape structure. These comparison methods were specifically developed to evaluate the performance of spatial models.
The Map (...)
SimLucia: climate change and dynamic land use planning in St. Lucia
A decision support system for the vulnerability assessment to climate change and dynamic land use planning in St. Lucia, West Indies
The long term objectives of this project are to develop a methodology and operational procedure applicable on the level of the individual coastal country or island
(1) to describe and analyse the impacts of climate change on their territory, their ecosystems, their social systems and their economic activities,
and (2) to provide instruments or tools to design, (...)
WadBOS: A policy support system for the Dutch Waddenzee
WadBOS is an information system offering support to policy makers actively involved in the Dutch Waddenzee. It features an integrated model representing the ecological and the economic functions of the sea.
The Wadden Sea is part of a coastal system extending from the North of the Netherlands into Northern Germany and Western Denmark. In the Netherlands, the sea is a protected nature reserve because of the important ecological functions that it fulfils. At the same time, the sea has (...)

the Memorial University of Newfoundland (Canada)
the National Institute for Coastal and Marine Management(RIKZ)(Netherlands)
the Research Institute for Knowledge Systems (RIKS).
The core of the system is an integrated model representing the linked dynamics of the lobsters and the fishermen based on Cellular Automata and Individual Based Models.

GenFrac - Fractal Generator using IFS
Author of the application: Gilles Vuidel
A number of software packages exist, that are dedicated to the generation of [hyp245; fractal patterns]. Such software packages are very useful and well adapted for generating either very beautiful fractal patterns or fractal patterns, which display well even after lots of iterations. However, no software meets the two needs that are:
the precise definition of the IFS not only numerically but also graphically;
the possibility to export the results (...)

Darcy 2.0: module de comparaison spatiale (in French)
Auteur de l’application : Gilles Vuidel (ThéMA, Besançon, France) d’après les travaux originaux de Waldo Tobler (UCSB, Santa Barbara, Californie, USA).
Méthode
Le logiciel Darcy permet d’appliquer une méthode de comparaison spatiale, dénommée « régression bidimensionnelle », développée par W. Tobler entre 1965 et 1977. Cette méthode autorise la comparaison de deux surfaces distinctes déterminées par des points homologues définis respectivement par les coordonnées [XY] (...)
