Genong Yu, Liping Di, Wenli Yang, Peisheng Zhao, Peng Yue · IGI Global eBooks · 2009
Multi-agent system is specialized in studying the collective effects of multiple intelligent agents. An intelligent agent is a computer system with autonomous action in an environment. This technology is especially suitable for studying geospatial phenomena since they are complex in nature and call for intertwined actions from different forces. This chapter describes multi-agent systems and their application in geospatial modeling, simulation and computing. Geospatial data integration and mining are discussed.
