The General Curvilinear Environmental Model (GCEM)

[EN] The General Curvilinear Environmental Model is a high-resolution system composed of the General Curvilinear Coastal Ocean Model (GCCOM) and the General Curvilinear Atmospheric Model (GCAM). Both modules are capable of reading a general curvilinear grid, orthogonal as well as non-orthogonal in all three directions. These two modules are weakly coupled using the distributed coupling toolkit (DCT). The model can also be nested within larger models and users are able to interact with the model and run it using a web based computational environment.

A GIS based model for solving the planar Huff problem considering different demand distributions and forbidden regions

[EN] In this paper, we have used Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to solve the planar Huff problem considering different demand distributions and forbidden regions. Most of the papers connected with the competitive location problems consider that the demand is aggregated in a finite set of points. In other few cases, the models suppose that the demand is distributed along the feasible region according to a functional form, mainly a uniform distribution. In this case, in addition to the discrete and uniform demand distributions we have considered that the demand is represented by a population surface model, that is, a raster map where each pixel has associated a value corresponding to the population living in the area that it covers...
