An agent-based geosimulation multidisciplinary approach to support scenarios evaluation in dynamic virtual geographic environments
Hedi Haddad, Bernard Moulin · Spring Simulation Multiconference · 2008
In this paper we propose an agent-based geosimulation approach to support a what if analysis of COAs in virtual geographic environments. An innovative part of our approach is the use of the agent-based simulation (ABS) paradigm to support qualitative reasoning about dynamic geographical phenomena. In fact, the use of ABS to experiment geographical phenomena is still in its infancy. Another innovative part of our approach is the combination of agent-based geosimulation and Qualitative Simulation techniques to simulate these dynamic geographical phenomena. We illustrate this approach with a prototype of a decision support system called MAGS-COA.
