The 7th International Conference on GeoComputation
University of Southampton, 8-10 September 2003
Call for papers for special session: Socioeconomic modelling and urban simulation
GeoComputation 2003 is the 7th in a series of successful international meetings that
are concerned with solving geographical problems through computers. Full details of
the conference are available from the conference home page at:
http://www.geog.soton.ac.uk/users/geocomp/default.asp
A full session entitled: socio-economic modelling and urban simulation has been
planed. We welcome contributions to the topics of dynamic modelling and urban
simulation, in particular cellular automata and the application of simulation models.
Potential topics may include:

Urban cellular automata models
Application of dynamic models and socio-economic analysis
Land development simulation
Multi-agent simulation
Heuristic models
Application of GIS in urban change analysis
Analytical tools for urban simulation
It is anticipated that papers selected from the session will be published jointly with the
session in ‘spatial distributed modelling of land surface processes’ (physical
geography oriented modelling) in a refereed volume.
Please send abstracts for this special session to: Dr. Fulong Wu (F.Wu@soton.ac.uk),
School of Geography, University of Southampton, Southampton, SO17 1BJ United
Kingdom, before 1 March 2003. For other details of the conference, please refer to
