Workshop on Integrating GIS and Multi-Agent Modelling Techniques
I would like to inform you of a workshop we are arranging on
integrating GIS and multi-agent modelling techniques. The workshop
will take place at the Santa Fe Institute on March 20-22, 1998.
There are a growing number of research communities who are interested
in modelling the dynamics of interactions between large numbers of
individual "agents" and their physical environments in the context
of real-world spatial data.
During the process of developing the Swarm simulation system at
the Santa Fe Institute, we have repeatedly encountered groups who
have bemoaned the severe lack of reliable existing software tools
for providing dynamic and/or multi-agent modelling capacity in
the context of GIS or other complex spatial data-sets. Many of
these groups have resorted to developing their own hybrid systems
to provide such modelling capacity.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers
with a mutual interest in the science and technology of dynamic
and multi-agent modelling in the context of spatial data, in
order to inform ourselves about the full spectrum of modelling
expertise and technology available to us, and, hopefully, to
discover ways in which we can collaborate in our modelling
efforts to promote general purpose, reusable modelling tools,
and to reduce duplication of effort.
Special thanks to Intel for a substantial contribution making
this meeting possible.
Cheers!
Chris Langton
