Thematic Issue on Spatial Agent-based models
for socio-ecological systems 

We are pleased to announce a call for papers for the Thematic Issue on spatial agent-based models of the Environmental Modelling & Software journal. This TI (co-sponsored by GLP) will feature applications of agent-based modeling to spatial socio-ecological research questions related to the impacts of heterogeneous human behavior on the environment and ecosystem services. While focused on topic, we anticipate that papers will span a broad range of subject area, case study location, and methodological foci. We expect that final papers for the issue will demonstrate modeling techniques that are critically important to the development of robust integrated models using agent-based modeling techniques.

If you are interested in submitting a contribution for the issue, please email your contact details and intended contribution (title, authors, and extended abstract) to sabm@iemss.org by December 15, 2010.

More information about the specific subject themes of the Thematic Issue, deadlines and procedures can be found on the iEMSs website.
