About Us
Vision:
Develop the most advanced infrastructure for easy, comprehensive, and collaborative decision making to tackle complex problems.
Mission:
Provide a flexible open software platform that integrates data, models and visualization to simplify and automate complex analysis.
ChainBuilder:
With the use of sophisticated dependency mapping, ChainBuilder illuminates the interconnections between multiple, traditionally separated research efforts while overcoming format incompatibility issues between data-sets. The ChainBuilder’s design is capable of harmonizing the power of multiple computational models operating concurrently and enables the creation of graphical dashboards linked to models.
Arizona State University:
ChainBuilder is housed at the ASU GeoDa Center for Geospatial Analysis and Computation. The GeoDa Center for Geospatial Analysis and Computation develops state-of-the-art methods for geospatial analysis, geovisualization, geosimulation, and spatial process modeling, implements them through open source software tools, applies them to policy-relevant research in the social and environmental sciences, and disseminates them through training and support to a growing worldwide community.
