Learning Objectives: 
  • Appraise the possible improvement of integrating GeoAlgebra, Graph-Based Cellular Automata, or agent-based models to overcome the fixed-grid limitations of CA models
  • Explain the potential contribution of integrating data mining into CA models
  • Compare and contrast the analysis of a process using a CA with the analysis of the same process in a GIS using map algebra and similar raster operations
