A Short Presentation of Dinamica EGO

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography ((LNGC))

Abstract

Dinamica EGO is a flexible software that allows the construction of many different types of environmental simulation models, including complex spatial dynamic ones. By using an intuitive, friendly and yet very powerful graphical interface, modelers can freely employ a combination of map algebra, cellular automata techniques, and table data manipulation to represent complex socio-economic and environmental systems, not being limited to the use of only predefined models.
