The complexities of understanding and forecasting evolutionary processes necessitate geographic modelling and simulation, which have emerged as potent tools for addressing critical issues such as climate change and sustainable resource use. But there is a pressing need for an open geographical modelling and simulation framework. Such a framework would serve as a catalyst, attracting more scholars and encouraging their collective efforts to address geographic challenges.
This workshop is designed to explore pertinent theories, approaches and potential applications, while fostering communication among experts from diverse domains. Its primary objectives include stimulating extensive discussions regarding the potential directions of the field and promoting further research, thus paving the way for a promising future in collaborative geographic modelling and simulation.
