A novel approach to automata-based modeling for spatial systems is described: geographic automata and Geographic Automata Systems. We detail a framework that takes advantage of the formalism of automata theory and GI Science to unite cellular automata and multi-agent systems techniques, and provides a spatial approach to bottom-up modeling of complex geographic systems that are comprised of inf...

There are three major policy implications from the analysis of advertising regulation: advertising of truthful information should not be restricted by regulatory authorities; deception is most likely and most harmful in the case of ‘credence’ goods, and regulation is most useful (if it is useful at all) in the case of these goods; and laws or rules mandating disclosure (as opposed to laws banni...

In this paper we present the structure of “customer disvalue” phenomenon as the complementary concept for customer value. Authors, who are proponents of humanized marketing, rely on the lived-experience of customers as the primary source of data in order to grasp a first-hand understanding of the phenomenon that has been profoundly shadowed by objectivism of economics. The research is based on ...
