The novel mobile application csxPOI (short for: collabora-tive, semantic, and context-aware points-of-interest) enables its usersto collaboratively create, share, and modify semantic points of interest(POI). Semantic POIs describe geographic places with explicit semanticproperties of a...

J. Gary Polhills forum paper in this issue was an invitation to try the OWL extension on a model that was written more than a year ago. Download and installation was a matter of a few minutes, extending the old model with a few lines as shown in the paper was not a problem either, visualising...

The articles collected in this volume have two features in common: they wantto integrate economics, demography and geography, and they want to overcome the stationary approach in modelling in favour of a dynamic one. The book is subdivided into three parts, where Part I is focussing on economic...

This short comment on Epstein's (2008) paper and on the response by Thompson and Derr argues that the symmetry between explanation and prediction cannot satisfactorily be discussed without making clear what prediction means - depending on which connotations the authors have with 'prediction'...

This special section includes papers originally presented at a workshop on \'Epistemological Perspectives on Simulation\' in July 2004 at the University of Koblenz, in which some thirty colleagues participated. It had been our impression that there was (and still is) a small, but growing number...

In our paper, we replicate simulation experiments carried out some 30 years ago by Jay M. Anderson who then tried to find out which measures should be taken to avoid the eutrophication of a lake. In his DYNAMO model, he simulated the development of a lake under cultural eutrophication, i.e....

Social simulation is often described as a multidisciplinary and fast-moving field. This can make it difficult to obtain an overview of the field both for contributing researchers and for outsiders who are interested in social simulation. The Journal for Artificial Societies and Social Simulation...
