Sintesi	Multi-Objective Cellular Automata (MOCA) couples the bottom-up spatial dynamics of cellular automata with multi-objective optimization to simultaneously pursue competing goals — such as maximizing urban compactness while minimizing ecosystem loss. Each grid cell updates its state based on transition rules that are calibrated or steered to satisfy a Pareto-optimal trade-off among two or more objectives, making the method widely used in land-use change simulation, urban growth modeling, and spatial planning under conflicting demands.	Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a computational simulation method, formalized through the work of Thomas Schelling and Robert Axelrod in the 1970s–1990s, that simulates the behavior of complex systems by specifying and running autonomous agents — individuals, firms, cells, or any bounded entity — whose local interactions with each other and with their environment collectively produce global, system-level patterns that could not be predicted from any single agent's rules alone.
