SD + GIS ?

We have been linking cellular STELLA models together and using GIS maps to
parameterize and add intervening information, for about 8 years. see:
http://blizzard.gis.uiuc.edu/htmldocs/TES.html
for some of these models. The cell number varies from around 2000 to nearly
120,000. The platforms vary from a desktop to a supercomputer. Our most
recent model was the spatial spread of an infectious disease, about 1600
cells covering the State of Illinois.

You may like to visit the Landair website at www.landair.co.uk. The
company has been using the GIS software MapInfo and the SD package Vensim
for a number of years and has developed functions to enable the integration
of the two.

Dear SD Community --

Ron Kickert asked about linking system dynamics models with GIS mapping systems.

Don Seville and I are presently working to display the outputs of a
prototype urban-dynamics-based model on a GIS map of the city under study.
We are using "Powersim" for the sd model and (with a GIS professional)
"ArcView" and "Smart Places" for the spatial work, but cant yet vouch for
the effectiveness of the links.

Id be happy to talk to anyone about our journey down the learning curve, or
hear about theirs.

Sincerely,

Drew
