دانلود کتاب Simulation of Complex Systems in GIS

This book provides a comprehensive view of geographical modeling. It first establishes the foundations of geographical modeling, covering such concepts as structure, organization, system, topologies, as well as the concept of time. Next, it tackles the use of computer tools for dynamic model building and presents several models applied to various themes, such as urban growth, natural risks, as well as political themes. Finally, a general model of the geographic agents system (GAS), which can be used as a basis for the construction of a model-building platform for dynamic spatial models is presented.Content: Chapter 1 Structure and System Concepts (pages 5–27): Chapter 2 Space and Geometry (pages 29–66): Chapter 3 Topological Structures: How Objects are Organized in Spatial Systems (pages 67–78): Chapter 4 Matter and Geographical Objects (pages 79–96): Chapter 5 Time and Dynamics (pages 97–119): Chapter 6 Spatial Interaction (pages 121–139): Chapter 7 Concept and Formalization of a CA (pages 145–170): Chapter 8 Examples of Geographic Cellular Automaton Models (pages 171–233): Chapter 9 Theoretical Approach of an Integrated Simulation Platform (pages 241–244): Chapter 10 A Formal Ontology of Geographic Agent Systems (pages 245–282):
