http://www.univ-rouen.fr/MTG/index.htm Job description: Modelling and simulation of complex geographical systems open new perspectives both in fundamental research and in public or private land use planning. The use of computer science methods linked to complex system study such as cellular automata and multiagent systems, requires high computing skills, which slows down their diffusion among the geography community and therefore among land use planners. Simulation platform MAGeo aims at […]
