Modeling Population Dynamics with Cellular Automata
نویسندگان
چکیده
When predicting changes in plant populations, spatial interactions must be considered. Cellular automata are models incorporating both spatial and temporal dynamics. Vegetation data were sampled on a meadow over three years using the point-quadrat method and population dynamics of three single species were modeled with a cellular automaton using stochastic decision rules. Links with the theory of Markov chains are briefly discussed.

Urban Growth Modeling using Integrated Cellular Automata and Gravitational Search Algorithm (Case Study: Shiraz City, Iran)
Cities are growing and encountering many changes over time due to population growth and migration. Identification and detection of these changes play important roles in urban management and sustainable development. Urban growth models are divided into two main categories: first cellular models which are further divided into experimental, dynamic, and integrated models and second vector models. ...
متن کاملSimulating spatial dynamics: cellular automata theory
A review of cellular automata (CA) theory is provided, with a discussion of its application in environmental modeling and simulation. CA theory shows potential for modeling landscape dynamics, so it is used to underpin a demonstration Geographic Information System (GIS) called SAGE. The grid-based GIS system is specified within the CA framework. The system is then demonstrated using an abstract...

متن کاملModeling Urban Sprawling of Tehran Metropolitan Area Based on PSO
The main goal of the present study was to implement a hybrid pattern of cellular automata model and particle swarm optimization algorithm based on TM and ETM+ imagery of landsat satellite from 1988 to 2010 for simulating the urban sprawling. In this study, an alternative model was implemented in two ways: the first method was based on two images (1988 and 2010) and the second one was based on t...
