Agent-Based Models (ABM) are computational models that simulate human action and interaction, visualise data but also model the complex relation between data and human action, and interaction
The textbook explains how to design and build ABM and how to link the models to Geographical information systems. It guides readers from the basics through to constructing more complex models which work with data and human behaviour in a spatial context.
