Description for Simulation of Complex Systems in GIS Hardback. This book provides a comprehensive view of geographical modeling. It first establishes the foundations of geographical modeling, covering such concepts as structure, organization, system, topologies, as well as the concept of time. Num Pages: 324 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: RG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 163 x 24. Weight in Grams: 614.

This book provides a comprehensive view of the field of geographical modeling by dividing the topic into three parts.

The first part of the work establishes the foundations of geographical modeling through the use of more general concepts, including: structure, organization, system, geometries, topologies, metrics, material, and object. Finally, introduction of the concept of time leads to the theories of process and spatial interaction, which are fundamental in geography.

The second part of the book tackles the use of computer tools for dynamic model building, which are the geographic cellular automata (GCA), and presents several models applied to various themes, ... Read more

Finally, a general model of the geographic agents system (GAS) which can be used as a basis for the construction of a model-building platform for dynamic spatial models is presented.
