Spatial Simulation at GI_Forum 2018
Context advances in geocomputation
The dynamic evolution of spatial simulation is driven by the quest for a deeper understanding of complex systems. Recent scientific contributions promote process-oriented simulation models as a complementary asset to the field of analytical data science. Advances in process-oriented geocomputational methods as well as their applications are the main focus of this special session.
Scope of the Session
We invite contributions that advance the state-of-art in spatial simulation modelling, including but not limited to:
- approaches based on cellular automata, agent-based models, individual-based models, microsimulation, or spatial system dynamics,
- applications of spatial simulation models in various domains, including ecology, landscape ecology, conservation biology, population dynamics, social network models, urban geography, pedestrian modelling, or transport modelling,
- hybrid models that integrate multiple modelling methods,
- participatory spatio-temporal modelling,
- dynamic geo-visualisation of simulation results,
- explorative model analysis and validation.
Submission
Contributions can either be submitted as full paper, extended abstract (deadline: February 1, 2018) or poster (deadline: May 1, 2018). Authors of accepted full papers and extended abstracts are invited to present and discuss their papers (15’+5’) in the special session. Authors of accepted posters are invited for a lightning talk (5’). Full papers and extended abstracts will be published in the GI-Forum Journal (Open Access).
Contact
The special session is organised by the Spatial Simulation research group at the Department of Geoinformatics – Z_GIS, University of Salzburg. Please contact [email protected] for any inquiries.
