Open Source Java Simulation Software

Kalypso is an open source application for geospatial modelling and simulation. It is primarily developed to be a user friendly tool for GIS-based modelling and simulation of hydrological and hydraulic numerical models.

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.

mesoFON is an individual-based mangrove forest model. It is a Java implementation of the KiWi model done with RePast Simphony. It contains several new features: (1) You can add up to 10 species via the GUI. However, in principle, the number of species to be included programmatically is unlimited. (2) You can use a variety of growth functions via typing them in as a string on the GUI. (3) The model is transparent, sinc it comes with the Eclipse workbench of RePast.

CRAFTY is a large-scale ABM of land use change. It has been designed to allow efficient but powerful simulation of a wide range of land uses and the goods and services they produce. It is fully open-source and can be used without the need for any programming.

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

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

Through an agent-based model using Repast we are studying the impact of killer whales on several threatened marine mammal species, including Steller sea lions and sea otters in Alaska. Offical Web Site http://www.math.uaa.alaska.edu/~orca/

Metaquokka is a highly configurable xml editor, currently available as Gridsphere portlet. Besides the default format, there is suppoert for ESysXML, a simulation description scheme for a geodynamics framework. Supports Generic Mapping Tools rudimentary.

XML Parser, Data Processing API and Specific Implementations for SensorML.

A planet-wide terrain generator, using simulated tectonic movements rather than fractals. Intended to produce richer information than just a heightmap - geology layers, climate, biomes, and resources.

UIBM (= Universal Individual-Based Model) is an agent-based simulation/3d-dvisualization of the dynamics within multispecies plant communities of Northwest Europe, parameterized from databases using universal scaling laws.

Viperfish is intended for the sailor looking to improve his weather forecasting. Viperfish provides the ability to visualise and modify GRIB (weather prediction) files, it can plot routes and provides routing based on coming weather and boat performance.

WEST (Wind Energy Simulation Toolkit) is a wind simulation application. It can be use to obtain high resolution results at various altitudes.

netcdf-tools is a set of tools for creating netCDF files. It supports command line use on both Windows and Unix as well as use directly as a Java library. Written by CSIRO Australia and funded by the ANDS Australian Research Data Commons Project

The program allows the simulation of spatial dynamics in a benthic coral reef community under various environmental settings. Several coral species, with either massive or branching colony growth morphologies are implemented as individual colonies, which compete for space with each other as well as with macroalgae and algal turf. For more details on the first version of the program see also: Kubicek A, Muhando C, Reuter H (2012) Simulations of Long-Term Community Dynamics in Coral Reefs - How Perturbations Shape Trajectories. PLoS Comput Biol 8(11): e1002791. doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002791 http://www.ploscompbiol.org/doi/pcbi.1002791 Version 2.0 of the program assesses feedbacks in coral systems and is published in Kubicek A, Reuter H (2016) Mechanics of multiple feedbacks in benthic coral reef communities.
