The TALISMAN project is a continuation of other projects funded by the ESRC, in particular GENeSIS (in which a strong collaboration with the Centre for Applied Spatial Analysis (CSAP) was forged) and GeoVUE. Below is a list of publications that are relevant to TALISMAN, which were outputs from these projects. A further set of publications that are relevant to TALISMAN are listed at the bottom of this page.
GENeSIS
The GENeSIS (Generative e-Social Science) project was funded by the ESRC and provides experimental conditions under which key policy initiatives can be tested on large-scale populations at the level of an individual. The modelling includes agent-based modelling and microsimulation coupled with powerful methods of visualization. The e-social science connection provides the infrastructure on which this type of modelling can take place. The following outputs of relevance to TALISMAN that have been produced within the GENeSIS project include:
Batty, M. Carvalho, R., Hudson-Smith, A., Milton, R., Duncan Smith, D., and Steadman, P. (2008) Scaling and Allometry in the Building Geometries of Greater London. European Physical Journal B, 63, 303-318. A CASA Working Paper is available online.

GeoVUE
The GeoVUE project ran from the beginning of 2006 until the end of 2010 as one of seven nodes in the National Centre for e-Social Science, which was tasked with developing new kinds of virtual urban environments (VUEs) using grid and web-based technologies with a particular focus on 2D/3D mapping and CAD. These VUEs were intended to help users further their understanding of cities as well as engaging in other forms of public participation. A number of publications were produced as part of the GeoVUE project that are relevant to TALISMAN, including:
