The authors focus on agent-based modeling of spatialized phenomena with a methodological and practical orientation, demonstrating how advanced agent-based spatial simulation methods and technics can be implemented.
This book provides theoretical and conceptual backgrounds, as well as algorithmic and technical insights, including code and applets, so that readers can test and re-use most of its content.
- Illustrates advanced concepts and methods in agent-based spatial simulation
- Features practical examples developed, and commented on, in a unique platform
- Provides theoretical and conceptual backgrounds, as well as algorithmic and technical insights, including code and applets, so that readers can test and re-use most of its content
Advanced practitioners from industry and academia, and graduate students in the field of multi-agent systems, focusing or not on its spatial component
