Spatial Evolutionary Modeling

Klappentext Evolutionary models (e.g.! genetic algorithms! artificial life)! explored in other fields for the past two decades! are now emerging as an important new tool in GIS for a number of reasons. First! they are highly appropriate for modeling geographic phenomena. Secondly! geographical problems are often spatially separate (broken down into local or regional problems) and evolutionary algorithms can exploit this structure. Finally! the ability to store! manipulate! and visualize spatial data has increased to the point that space-time-attribute databases can be easily handled. Zusammenfassung Evolutionary models (e.g genetic algorithms, artificial life) are emerging as an important new tool for geographic information systems for a number of reasons. First, they are highly appropriate for modelling geographic phenomena; second, geographical problems are often spatially separate (broken down into logical or regional problems), and evolutionary algorithms can exploit this structure; and finally, the ability to store, mainipulate, and visualize spatial data has increased to the point that space-time attribute databases can be easily handled. This book is proposed to serve as a guide to the evolutionary modelling of spatial phenomena.
