surfit is an open source and free gridding and contouring software. surfit can do interpolation/approximation of points, contours and surfaces, can take fault lines and trend surfaces into account, can use inequalities and other conditions. Supports a lo

Eden is a celular automata based urban simulation models that may be used as urban laboratory to explore various interesting ideas of urban policies about how city work and change over time.

Siafu simulates individual agents and their context, from home to city-wide scenarios. As a developer, you use the API to write your simulation for the purposes of data-set generation, test or visualization, optionally hooking it to your own application.

Carnaval est un logiciel destiné au calcul de masques et d'ensoleillement. La version actuelle permet de calculer les trajectoires solaires et les masques de terrain liés au relief (modèle issu des données SRTM). Les développements ont été repris par Sober Software. Merci de visiter ce site pour télécharger la dernière version et accéder aux nouvelles fonctionalités : www.sober-software.com

The GPS Simulator simulates a GPS receiver which emits NMEA sentences over Bluetooth. It can be used to test location based applications on real mobile devices, in particular on mobile devices which have a JSR 179 implementation based on a connected GPS.

Note: Active projects have been copied to Github: https://github.com/pcraster News, project information, documentation and more are available at http://www.pcraster.eu PCRaster is a collection of tools and software libraries tailored to the construction of spatio-temporal environmental models. Application domains are amongst others hydrology (rainfall-runoff, global water balance, groundwater (with Modflow)), ecology, or land use change. Two scripting languages (PCRcalc and Python) include a rich set of spatial operations for manipulating and analysing raster maps. A Python framework supports Monte Carlo simulations and data assimilation (Ensemble Kalman Filter and Particle Filter). The Aguila tool allows for the interactive visualisation of stochastic spatio-temporal data.

PIHMgis is a “tightly-coupled” GIS interface to Penn State Integrated Hydrologic Model (PIHM). It is open source, platform independent and extensible. The “tightly-coupled” integrated GIS interface to PIHM has been created in the Open Source QGIS

The nofdp IDSS is an open source application for modeling flood control measures and 1D hydrodynamic flood simulation. Additional modules for ecological and spatial analysis, multicriteria evaluation and communication are included.

This project is a simulation model of the road traffic. The project is developed by students on FRI, University of Zilina, for educational purpose.

The BioEnergy Allocation and Simulation Tool (BEAST) is a tool dedicated to assess political goals of woody bioenergy production in the context of available biomass potentials and corresponding economic and ecological criteria on a regional level. It is a useful tool in participative decision making processes by iterative simulation and visualization of complex issues. BEAST is a data- and model-driven Decision Support System (DSS) evaluating woody biomass potentials from forests, hedges and trees outside forests as well as short rotation coppice (SRC). The latter one is modelled spatially explicit. This opens the possibility to identify prefered areas for SRC production under different restrictions and goals. Forest wood and wood from outside forests are treated only aggregated.

CellGIS is a wireless planning tool that uses Java and ASCII Raster maps format. It allows to implement more propagation models and funcionalities by means of plug-ins.

EcoMod is an OpenGL application for 3D modelling, simulation and visualization of ecosystems. Trees are modelled and used within simulation to render the emerging natural phenomena of spontaneous afforestation process. Multidisciplinary.

GISpatialNet is a Java-based tool for mapping network data (nodes and edges between them) to spatial coordinates; reformatting network and spatial data together; and calculating spatial network measures. Install by saving to c:\ drive and typing the following in a command line: java -jar c:\GISpatialNet-0.9b.jar

GeoDMS is a framework for spatial planning and land use change modelling

KalypsoBASE is a Desktop-GIS built on Eclipse. It's focus lies on modelling gis data using GML Application-Schemata. Features contain generic dialogs based on GML, maps based on OGC's SLD, and other tools like a charting framework or API for timeseries

LibNav is a library providing general algorithms for navigation and positioning. It includes datum conversions, reference systems conversions, vector and matrix operations, Least-Mean-Squares, Kalman Filter, Runge-Kutta, statistical tools and more.

OpenVBMS is a mature open-source "Google Earth"-like application for use in DIS-based distributed virtual simulation environment. It has seen extensive use in the industry, and recently, open-sourced.

Orbzilla is a flexible framework for orbit determination. It mechanizes the process of creating batch and Kalman filters to process spacecraft observations.

RegMAS (Regional Multi Agent Simulator) is a spatially explicit multi-agent model framework, developed in C++ language and designed for long-term simulations of effects of government policies over agricultural systems (farm sizes, incomes, land use..).

Please note: there is a new version of this project here: http://code.google.com/p/repastcity/ I'll keep this project alive but it wont be updated. A simple Repast Simphony project that demonstrates how to create small city using real GIS data. The city has houses and some agents who travel around the road network from house to house. Not affiliated with Repast Simphony.

Rossi is a entomological tool to simulate the phenology of certain insect by lifestages. In addition, certain indicators are calculated on a yearly basis to assess the risk of a certain insect plague given a yearly temperature regime. Plugin to DIVA-GIS.
