Geographic Automata Systems: A New Paradigm for Integrating GIS and Geographic Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Geographic simulation is concerned with automata-based methodologies for simulating discrete, dynamic, and action-oriented spatial systems, combining cellular automata and multi-agent systems in a spatial context. In this paper, we propose a paradigm for integrating GIS and geosimulation into what we term Geographic Automata Systems (GAS), the latter fusing the two into full-blown, symbiotic systems.

A Minimal Prototype for Integrating GIS and Geographic Simulation through Geographic Automata Systems
A new approach is introduced, whereby patently spatial simulation methodology is applied to simulating discrete, dynamic, and action-oriented spatial systems, combining cellular automata and multi-agent systems in a spatial context. In this paper, we propose a minimal prototype for integrating GIS and geosimulation into what we term Geographic Automata Systems (GAS), the latter sufficient for t...
متن کاملA Mobile-agent and Gml Based Framework for Integrating Distributed Gis*
Geographic Information System (GIS) based on Internet as a promising research field brings new opportunities and challenges to geographic information accessing, sharing and disseminating. However, the inherent limitation of current Internet GIS architecture based on connection makes it incompetent to fulfil various requirements of GIS applications under dynamic, complicated and distributed comp...
متن کاملCell Based GIS as Cellular Automata for Disaster Spreading Predictions and Required Data Systems
A method for prediction and simulation based on Cell Based Geographic Information System: GIS as Cellular Automata: CA is proposed together with required data systems, in particular, metasearch engine usage in an unified way. It is confirmed that the proposed cell based GIS as CA has flexible usage of the attribute information which are attached to the cell in concern with location information ...
متن کاملUnderstanding Informal Urban Patterns By Integrating Geographical Information Systems (GIS) And Cellular Automata (CA) Modelling
Cities in developing countries are expanding at a tremendous rate and informal settlements (where 40 to 80% of city dwellers live) occur in unplanned urban areas. In planned cities in developed countries, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and cellular automata (CA) are favourable tools for modelling urban dynamics. This paper discusses the growth of informal settlements, describes the tools ...
متن کاملSimulating spatial dynamics: cellular automata theory
A review of cellular automata (CA) theory is provided, with a discussion of its application in environmental modeling and simulation. CA theory shows potential for modeling landscape dynamics, so it is used to underpin a demonstration Geographic Information System (GIS) called SAGE. The grid-based GIS system is specified within the CA framework. The system is then demonstrated using an abstract...
