Brown et al. (2005) discuss cellular automata in relation to spatial agent-based modeling.
It may be needless to say that such a simple set of equations cannot fully replace the original spatial, agent-based model.
In this paper, we attempted to integrate the concepts of BDI agent architecture into spatial issues; as a result, a novel spatial agent model is designed and implemented to analyze the urban land use planning.
In a spatial agent-based model the agents are situated in a spatial environment and are typically assumed to be able to move in various ways across this environment.
Using a spatial agent-based model of transport, this paper explores various "unconventional" workplace sharing programmes that allow employees to work remotely at other work sites in Northeast Scotland, with Aberdeenshire Council as the focal employer.
We use a spatial agent-based modelling approach to investigate how ecological dynamics, payoff structures, and their interdependencies, influence the emergence and persistence of cooperative behaviours in the management of red deer (Cervus elaphus) in Scotland.
Focusing primarily on the papers presented in this thematic issue, we review progress in spatial agent-based models along the lines of four methodological challenges: (1) design and parameterizing of agent decision models, (2) verification, validation and sensitivity analysis, (3) integration of socio-demographic, ecological, and biophysical models, and (4) spatial representation.
"Making this loud abrasive music that was made to reverberate was another way to be a spatial agent," Desranleau says.
Spatial agent-based simulations [ 2, 4] model the movement of agents (individuals) from location to location over time, currently parameterised using census data.
Wood and Ackland [ 15] use a spatial agent-based model where grouping evolves through inherited changes in local individual interactions that lead to self-organized grouping.
