'Geosimulation' is a rapidly developing area in geography. Merging
GIS, complex systems theory and the latest developments in computer
science, it revolutionizes the way in which we think about and
model real world complex systems.
Applicable across a wide variety of disciplines,
"Geosimulation: automata-based modelling of urban phenomena"
details some of the most exciting developments in the emerging
field of geosimulation. Primarily concerned with developing
realistic representations of geographic systems and simulating
processes within a computing environment, the emphasis lies in the
latest research and development using cellular automata and
multi-agent systems. Details the current state-of-the-art in
advanced urban simulation Provides the most extensive and thorough
investigation into a new and rapidly developing field Has a strong
applied focus, with examples from urban studies, city and regional
planning, environmental science, political science, sociology,
biology, chemistry and physics Presents the reader with a sound
theoretical basis of the science of geosimulation, along with
applied material on the construction of geosimulation models
Applications, examples and working code available from an
associated Website providing readers with the tools to carry out
their own modelling and testing "Geosimulation: automata-based
modelling of urban phenomena" is essential reading for
postgraduates and academic researchers interested in GIS, spatial
science, urban modelling, quantitative geography and computer
science. It will be useful supplementary reading for Masters and
upper level undergraduate students of geocomputation, GIS, remote
sensing and spatial information science. Itis also key reading for
local government and public policy groups in urban planning.
