Randy Gimblett has asked me to mention his new book:
"Integrating Geographic Information Systems and Agent-Based Modeling:
Techniques for Simulating Social and Ecological Processes"
published by Oxford University Press.
The blurb reads:
For those addressing ecological and natural resource management problems
this volume presents a set of coherent, cross-referenced perspectives on
incorporating the spatial representation and analytical power of GIS
with agent-based modeling of evolutionary and non-linear processes and
phenomena. Many recent advances in software algorithms for incorporating
geographic data in modeling social and ecological behaviors and also the
success in applying such algorithms have not been adequately represented
in the present literature. This book fills that gap and provides much
needed information on applications for the research community as well as
those in the management of natural resources.
It can be ordered through the Oxford UP web site at: <http://www.oup-
usa.org/isbn/0195143361.html>
