| Abstract | Claudio Cioffi-Revilla, George Mason University, USA J. Daniel Roger, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, USA Atesmachew Hailegiorgis, George Mason University, USA rev. February 27, 2011 ABSTRACT In recent years the interdisciplinary field of Computational Social Science has developed theory and methodologies for building spatial “agent-based” social simulation (ABSS) models of human societies that are situated in ecosystems with land cover and climate. This paper explains the needs and demand for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in these types of agent-based models, with an emphasis on models applied to Eastern Africa and Inner Asia and relevance for understanding and analyzing development issues. The models are implemented with the MASON (Multi-Agent Simulator Of Networks and Neighborhoods) system, an open-source simulation environment in the Java language and suitable for developing ABSS models with GIS for representing spatial features. |
