LIEVANO MARTINEZ, FEDERICO  and  OLAYA MORALES, YRIS. AGENT-BASED SIMULATION APPROACH TO URBAN DYNAMICS MODELING. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2012, vol.79, n.173, pp.34-42. ISSN 0012-7353.

This article presents a general agent-based simulation approach that captures agents' decision-making processes and dynamic relationships that determine urban shape. The article shows how to simulate urban growth patterns and land-use change dynamics using economic assumptions and by modeling the interactions of computational agents.

Keywords : agent-based simulation; land use change; urban dynamics; decision-making processes.
