چکیده
A novel approach to automata-based modeling for spatial systems is described: geographic automata and Geographic Automata Systems. We detail a framework that takes advantage of the formalism of automata theory and GI Science to unite cellular automata and multi-agent systems techniques, and provides a spatial approach to bottom-up modeling of complex geographic systems that are comprised of infrastructure and human objects. The suitability of the framework is also discussed with reference to existing cellular automata and multi-agent systems models used in urban studies. Practical implementation of the framework is illustrated with reference to an object-based urban simulation environment and implementation of a popular socio-spatial segregation model.

Geographic Automata Systems: A New Paradigm for Integrating GIS and Geographic Simulation
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 sy...

متن کاملSimulating Sprawl
Suburban sprawl, a relatively recent phenomenon, is among the most important urban policy issues facing contemporary cities. To date, a well-accepted rationale has not been settled on for explaining and managing the causes of sprawl. Our contention is that consideration of geography is essential—that geographical explanations offer much potential in informing the debate about sprawl. Similarly,...
متن کاملDistributed Learning Automata based Route Planning
Distributed Learning Automata is automata based modelling approach for solving stochastic shortest path problems. The DLA can be applied to road networks to find shortest path that provides a spatial approach to bottom-up modelling of complex geographic systems that are comprised of infrastructure and human objects. Route finding is a popular Geographical Information System (GIS) application un...
