Geocomputation 2007: Challenges in Agent-Based Modelling

Last week we attended the Geocomputation 2007 conference at the National Centre for Geocomputation at the National University of Ireland in Maynooth. We thought we would share the talk and the short paper entitled “Key Challenges in Agent-Based Modelling for Geo-Spatial Simulation.” This paper outlines some of the key challenges for ABM specifically relating it to geo-spatial simulation and how we at CASA are attempting to address these issues.

Any thoughts or comments would be more than welcome.
