Agent-Based Cellular Automata — Hybrid Spatial Simulation of Emergent Phenomena
Agent-Based Cellular Automata (ABCA) is a hybrid simulation framework that integrates the local transition rules of cellular automata with the autonomous behavioral logic of agent-based modeling. Cells in a spatial grid both evolve according to neighborhood rules and host agents that perceive, decide, and act, enabling the study of complex spatial phenomena such as land-use change, disease spread, crowd dynamics, and ecosystem evolution.
