Online Database of Spin Applications

Alberto Lafuente from the University in Freiburg is putting together a comprehensive database of Spin models, so that they are more easily available to everyone. If you have items that would be interesting to share, please send them to Alberto (lafuente@informatik.uni-freiburg.de). When it is complete, we plan to make the database available on the Spin website as well.

The database is currently at: http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~lafuente/models/models.html
