Details about Integrating Geographic Information Systems and Agent-Based Modeling Techniques for Simulating Social and Ecological Processes Santa Fe Institute Studies on the Sciences of Complexity:

This volume presents a set of coherent, cross-referenced perspectives on incorporating the spatial representation and analytical 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.
