Opus: an Open Platform for Urban Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several research teams working on integrated land use, transportation and environmental modelling have begun an international collaboration to develop an Open Platform for Urban Simulation (OPUS). The initiative is creating an Open Source platform that simulates land use, activitybased travel demand, and dynamic traffic assignment, and that can be extended by users and adapted to alternative modelling applications. This paper summarizes the objectives and design of OPUS, and describes a framework for extending the system through packages contributed by the user community.

SPICE is a de-facto standard for free circuit simulation and the role model for most commercial simulators. In this paper we present the SPICE OPUS circuit simulator which is based on the SPICE3 source code. The shortcomings of the original SPICE3 and of its device models are highlighted. We present the solutions to these shortcomings that were implemented in SPICE OPUS. Three promising open-so...
