On overview of the work currently underway in the TALISMAN node including how we can tackle big data challenges is provided in a recent podcast by Talisman Director Prof Mark Birkin.
The research in TALISMAN is organized into five main streams. The first three are focused on developments in state-of-the-art geospatial models, in particular:
- Stream 1: Microsimulation models (MSM)
- Stream 2: Agent-based models (ABM) and Cellular Automata (CA)
- Stream 3: Spatial interaction modelling (SIM)
while the other two are concerned with research into new methods of:
- Stream 4: Data sourcing
- Stream 5: Visualisation
Streams 1 to 3 are being undertaken in CSAP at the University of Leeds, which follows on the footsteps of a strong geospatial modeling tradition that has been developed over the past four decades. Streams 4 and 5 are core areas of research in CASA at UCL, which complements their own extensive geospatial modeling expertise.
