GIS and Agent Based Modeling

An article from a while back that addresses how virtual worlds,GIS and agent based modeling can be linked together for research applications. Via Dave Cohen. This blog has covered these and related topics for some time.

Here are a few examples of posts on work in the enterprise I have been involved in. For example, a paper published that used agent based modeling to solve difficult market models, in conjunction with Argonne National Labs. A book published that does a good job of describing a number of models that can be used as examples. Finally, a local company, Thinkvine, which is using agent models to understand the interaction between promotions and results.

The GIS interaction is also something we also explored, in 2004 we were finalists for the Edelman prize in the use of interactive GIS to solve supply chain models. I still remain closely connected to location and model based applications. Need to know more? Contact me, email address in the left column.
