Agent-Based & Cellular Automata Models for Geographical Systems @ the AAG
DESCRIPTION OF THE SESSIONS
Papers will discuss issues relating to:
- Validation, verification and calibration of Agent-based and CA models
- Hybrid modeling approaches (e.g. utilizing Spatial Interaction, Microsimulation, etc.)
- Handling scale and space issues
- Visualization of agent-based models (along with their outputs)
- Ways of representing behavior within models of geographical systems
- Participatory modeling and simulation
- Applications: Ranging from the micro to macro scale
