Center for Spatially Integrated Social Science
The Center for Spatially Integrated Social Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, is funded by the US government’s National Science Foundation.
CSISS seeks to develop unrestricted access to tools and resources that will advance the spatial analytic capabilities of researchers throughout the social sciences.
The Center’s website is organized around eight headings:
core programs;
learning resources;
spatial resources;
spatial tools;
search engines;
CSISS events; (...)
CSISS Spatial Tools search
Housed on the Center for Spatially Integrated Social Science website, the CSISS Tools Clearinghouse is intended to grow into a robust collection of spatial analysis software, software links, and links to information about tools for spatial analysis.
The key link in the clearinghouse page is to a database of spatial tools (database of URLs and software archives compiled by Luc Anselin including over 700 individual software titles). It searches a subset of the Spatial Resources on the (...)
Spatial Resources on the Internet
Housed on the Center for Spatially Integrated Social Science website, Spatial Resources on the Internet is a comprehensive search database containing thousands of reviewed sites relating to spatial approaches in the social sciences.
Currently there are over 35,000 pages included in this index.
Literature Search of Spatial Analysis in the Social Sciences
CSISS maintains a user-searchable database, currently containing over 10,000 bibliographical references that feature applications of Spatial Analysis techniques in the Social Sciences.
The database is updated at least once a year. The search terms used in developing the database (http://www.csiss.org/resources/litsearch-class.htm) were derived from literature in the following areas:
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Map Making and Visualization
Spatial Econometrics
Spatial (...)
AI-GEOSTATS
The AI-GEOSTATS website is supported by the European Commission Joint Research Centre. It includes a searchable list of around 95 software applications. Links to downloadable versions of the software packages are provided. The list can be listed alphabetically, searched by keywords, or by category.
The categories are:
1. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) 2. Analysis of the spatial distribution of Point Dataz 3. Analysis of Geostatistical Data
4. Analysis of Lattice Data
5. (...)
Environmental Protection Agency Global Warming Resource Centre Software resources
Set of links maintained by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Interactive software applications are available online to measure and analyse energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and evaluate emission reduction opportunities. The software applications presented vary greatly in complexity, scope, and intent. A brief description of each is provided to help the user select one that meets his or her (...)

A database presenting details of urban models in a pre-defined standardised format.
The database is the fruit of a study undertaken under the Inventur (Inventory of urban models) research programme coordinated by Daniel Siret, of the CERMA research centre in Nantes, France. This programme, undertaken within the framework of the CNRS research programme Management of models and know-how - urban applications, which created a survey instrument and a typology of urban models, of all kinds. (...)
Describing and Cataloging Computational Models
This site presents a Metadata standard for computer models developed by the National Centre for Geographical Information and Analysis in the USA. It is known as the Content Standard for Computation Models (CSCM) and was developed for the purpose of the incorporation of computer models into digital libraries. The latest version of the standard was published in October 2001. It specifies the information content of metadata about the content, quality, condition, and other characteristics of (...)

A mailing and discussion list hosted by the Center for Spatially Integrated Social Science. It is devoted to Multi-Agent System Models of Spatial Human-Environment Interactions. It is meant to facilitate communication between researchers in multiple disciplines for discussion of spatial agent-based models of human-environment interactions.
Archives going back to June 2002.
It is mainly used to publicise events and (...)
