System Integration with Multiscale Networks (SIMoN): A Geospatial Model Transformation Framework for a Sustainable Future

Abstract

A team at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) developed SIMoN (System Integration with Multiscale Networks), a framework that connects predictive resource models from domains such as water, electricity, climate, and population, and passes data about resource usage and availability between models. SIMoN is useful for interfacing models with different native environments and geospatial definitions and can potentially be adapted to many other applications.
