Applications of Cellular Automata and Agent-Based Models

Istituto per il Progetto Urbano Contemporaneo

Termine di inoltro: 16 novembre 2011

Submit your research on the use of cellular automaton
models or agent-based models in geomorphology to the following session
for the EGU 2011 General Assembly (Vienna, 3-8 April 2011): "Simplicity
in Geomorphology: Applications of Cellular Automata and Agent-Based
Models".

Both cellular automata models (CA) and agent-based models (ABM) have the
advantage of conceptual simplicity coupled with the ability to simulate
complex dynamics. This session discusses the current state-of-the art of
both these modelling techniques, and their impact on the field of
geomorphology. We invite contributions highlighting recent
methodological developments of CA and ABM as exploratory tools, as well
as contributions which illustrate applications of these models to
real-world problems.
