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.	System dynamics is a continuous simulation method, developed by Jay W. Forrester at MIT in 1961, that represents a complex system through stocks (accumulations), flows (rates of change), and feedback loops. By expressing these relationships as coupled ordinary differential equations, it reproduces how policies, delays, and nonlinear feedbacks drive system behaviour over time — making it a cornerstone tool in policy analysis, organisational modelling, and sustainability research.
