MorphoLim: tool for determining the morphological limit of urban agglomerations by fractal logic.

Fractalopolis: multifractal urban and regional planning. Fractalopolis is dedicated to designing multifractal development plans.

MUP-City: multi-scale urban planning for a sustainable city. MUP-City can be used to create fractal residential development scenarios integrating constraints of accessibility to shops, services, open spaces and public transports.

ArtiScales: spatial simulation platform that supports the integration of regional planning policies and local design rules.

MobiSim: agent-based LUTI simulation platform for geographical analysis of daily and residential mobility dynamics.

SimFeodal: agent-based modelling to explore the combined effects of social and demographic changes on the evolution of regional rural settlement patterns during the Middle Ages (A.D. 800 to 1100).

Fractalyse: areal and linear fractal measurement software.
