An Agent Based Simulation Model to Locating Sellers Using Geographic Information Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a generic model for locating sellers in a geographical area is presented. The proposed model is based on buyers’ side attributes including price, quality, distance, income and discount, which determine the location of the prospective sellers. The required information for the model is acquired from buyers and the geographic information system (GIS). It is assumed that the agents (sellers and buyers) transact in a multi agent system (MAS) environment. Buyer agents act according to the adjacency to market place, incoming level, quality of commodity, and buying mentality background. The advantage of the proposed model is that it combines agents’ behavior with GIS. While GIS enables us to model geographic space, MAS models the behavior of intelligent agents within a specific geographical space.

This paper presents a conceptual design for an agent-based bilateral residential land market. The design includes interactions between multiple buyers and sellers (household agents, developers, and rural land owners) and two local feedbacks to land value—price expectation formation based on local neighborhoods and spatial externalities. To address the methodological challenges inherent in the t...

متن کاملIntegration of artificial neural network and geographic information system applications in simulating groundwater quality
Background: Although experiments on water quality are time consuming and expensive, models are often employed as supplement to simulate water quality. Artificial neural network (ANN) is an efficient tool in hydrologic studies, yet it cannot predetermine its results in the forms of maps and geo-referenced data. Methods: In this study, ANN was applied to simulate groundwater quality ...
