Self-organization simulation over geographical information systems based on multi-agent platform
Résumé
In this paper, we present a review concerning the coupling of Geographical Information Systems with agent-based simulation. With the development of new technologies and huge geographical databases, the geographers now deal with complex interactive networks which describe the new Geopolitics and worldwide Economy. The aim here, is to implement some self-organization processes that can emerge from these complex systems. We explain how we can today model such phenomena and how we can implement them in a practical way, using the concept of complex systems modelling and some efficient tools associated to this concept.
