Agent-Based Modeling of Complex Spatial Systems
Workshop on Agent-Based Modeling of Complex Spatial Systems, April 14-16, 2007
Over the past few years two research communities have developed
more-or-less independently: the community of agent-based modelers of
spatial systems on the one hand, and the community interested in the
representational and computational aspects of complex dynamic systems on
the other.
As part of the joint US National Science Foundation / UK
Economic and Social Research Council Special Activity in the Area of
E-Science, the University of California, Santa Barbara and University
College London received funding for a workshop of approximately 30
participants, that was held in Santa Barbara, California April 14-16 2007
at the Upham Hotel.
The workshop followed the
traditional format of a specialist meeting of the National Center for
Geographic Information and Analysis, combining presentations with
plenary and small-group discussions.
