Links

We thought that it might be useful to provide a series of links which helped us with gaining an understanding of both agent-based modelling and GIS:

General:

• Agent-based computational economics (ACE) website by Leigh Tesfatsion, the site is full of useful links to agent-based modelling.
• Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis
• Geosimulation by Paul Torrens.
• Geospatial Analysis: A comprehensive guide to principles, techniques & software tools for geospatial analysis.
• MAS/LUCC Resource Page: a collection of resources for people interested in MAS/LUCC models.
• Multiagent systems website: news and information about the design and implementation of multiagent systems.
• OpenABM Consortium: a group of researchers, educators, and professionals with a common goal - improving the way we develop, share, and utilize agent based models.
• Santa Fe Institute
