Summary
A ground-up approach to explaining dynamic spatial modelling for an interdisciplinary audience.
Across broad areas of the environmental and social sciences, simulation models are an important way to study systems inaccessible to scientific experimental and observational methods, and also an essential complement to those more conventional approaches. The contemporary research literature is teeming with abstract simulation models whose presentation is mathematically demanding and re…

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“The book by O’Sullivan and Perry thoroughly introduces basic theoretical work and offers not only a rich source of inspiration but also readily accessible examples from various applications that can be adopted and adapted in order to get started.” (Frontiers of Biogeography, 2 June 2014)
“In summary, the book brings a comprehensiveness and structure that will aid any researcher in the development of a spatial simulation model, no matter their experience. In moving from simple “building blocks” to sophisticated extensions of fundamental processes, the book brings a new maturity to the field of spatial simulation. As Volker Grimm correctly points out in the foreword - “This book was badly needed..” (Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, 1 March 2014)
