Klappentext This volume presents a set of coherent, cross-referenced perspectives on incorporating the spatial representation andanalytical power of GIS with agent-based modelling of evolutionary and non-linear processes and phenomena. Many recent advances in software algorithms for incorporating geographic data in modeling social and ecological behaviors, and successes in applying such algorithms, had not been adequately reported in the literature. This book seeks to serve as the standard guide to this broad area. Zusammenfassung This text details a variety of advances in software algorithms for incorporating geographic data in modelling social and ecological behaviours, as well as the success in applying such algorithms. It also provides information on applications for the research community. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface 1: H.
