Excerpt

Over the last few years we have seen spatial agent-based modelling beginning to bridge the gap from cautious early adoption towards general acceptance within the geographical sciences. One of the key features that has contributed to this is its ability to represent individual characteristics and behaviours. Through building simulations that exploit these characteristics, researchers have been given a new tool to simulate and understand the consequences of individual interactions, behaviours and movements through space and time. This has allowed questions that are of interest to both academics and policy makers to be posed, for example: what would be the economic impact of water reform? How might pedestrians react in a disaster? Who uses our urban spaces at different times of day? What would be the impact if funding was changed for academic research? What will be the impact of changing how prices NASDAQ where recorded? How might fish populations be impacted in changing water conditions? Or how might a certain disease spread? (for more details on such questions see [1‐5]). …
