SpaDES (version 2.0.9)

SpaDES-package: Categorized overview of the SpaDES package

Description

SpaDES logo

Metapackage for implementing a variety of event-based models, with a focus on spatially explicit models. These include raster-based, event-based, and agent-based models. The core simulation components (provided by SpaDES.core) are built upon a discrete event simulation (DES; see Matloff (2011) ch 7.8.3 https://nostarch.com/artofr.htm) framework that facilitates modularity, and easily enables the user to include additional functionality by running user-built simulation modules (see also SpaDES.tools). Included are numerous tools to visualize rasters and other maps (via quickPlot), and caching methods for reproducible simulations (via reproducible). Additional functionality is provided by the suggested SpaDES.addins and SpaDES.shiny packages (see below).
