    From Landscapes to Waterscapes: A PSE for Landuse Change Analysis
    Rubin, E.J.; Diet, R.; Chanat, J.; Speir, C.; Dymond, Randel L.; Lohani, Vinod K.; Kibler, David F.; Bosch, D. D.; Shaffer, Clifford A.; Ramakrishnan, Naren; Watson, Layne T. (Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2000)
    We describe the design and implementation of L2W — a problem solving environment (PSE) for landuse change analysis. L2W organizes and unifies the diverse collection of software typically associated with ecosystem models (hydrological, economic, and biological). It provides a web-based interface for potential watershed managers and other users to explore meaningful alternative land development and management scenarios and view their hydrological, ecological, and economic impacts. A prototype implementation for the Upper Roanoke River Watershed in Southwest Virginia, USA is described.
