Want to know more about #ABM & #GIS? Check out: Agent-Based Modelling and Geographical Information Systems: A Practical Primer. Also all the models and data are available @ abmgis.org @nickmalleson @edthink @ajheppenstall

Are you interested in how you can perceive smells in cities? If so check out our new paper led by the amazing @qingqingchen77 & @atepoorthuis entitled "Mapping the Invisible: Decoding Perceived Urban Smells Through Geosocial Media in New York City" : tandfonline.com/eprint/DVTV9EQ…

Officially Dr. Chen! 🥳🥳 Huge thanks to my amazing committee: @AndyCrooks @JaredAldstadt @Yingjie_Hu @atepoorthuis and to everyone who’s been part of this journey. Can’t believe this chapter is really over but the story is still going! 🌈

✍️Call for Papers✍️: Integrating LLMs and Geospatial Foundation Models to Enhance Spatial Reasoning in ABMs @EuroSocSim's Social Simulation Conference. Full details: gisagents.org/2025/03/call-f… @ajheppenstall

If you are working in CSS, this is a great conference you might like to submit a paper to.

🎉Excited to share our latest research in @PLOSDigiHealth. We introduced a ‘big-thick’ data approach to compare the convergences and divergences between newspapers and interviews regarding the COVID pandemic and vaccination discussion. @AndyCrooks @SurteesJennifer

We (@AndyCrooks) just completed three stages of agent-based modeling—Designing, Building, and Running—to replicate Sakoda's Checkerboard Model of Social Interaction, ONLY🧩by chatting with ChatGPT! 🚀A great way for ABM beginners to dive in!#AgentBasedModeling #AI #SakodaModel

Our Proceedings of the 2023 International Conference of the Computational Social Science Society of the Americas has been published as part of Springer Proceedings in Complexity: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

📝 New paper in Scientific Data: A Large-Scale Geographically Explicit Synthetic Population with Social Networks for the US. We (@AndyCrooks @geoai_yin @BoyuWang_ ) have standardized and automated the process Code and Data: osf.io/fpnc2/ Paper: doi.org/10.1038/s41597…

#AAG2025 deadline extended! Still not to late to submit your abstracts to our session. More details gisagents.org/2024/10/call-f…

I'm recruiting a PhD student starting in Fall 2025 (application deadline is Dec. 2024). The student will focus on GeoAI for Disaster Resilience, and will have opportunities to be involved in multiple NSF-funded projects. More details are available at: geoai.geog.buffalo.edu/opportunities/

Call for abstracts! Are you doing work related to #Geosimulation and planning on attending the #AAG2025 ? If so check out our session and consider submitting an abstract. More info at: gisagents.org/2024/10/call-f… Organized by @ajheppenstall @ComplexityWise @JJiangna and others.

We had the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the journal Environment and Planning B in UCL on the 6th June 2024. A video of the talks from Longley, Batty, Steadman, Singleton and See. youtube.com/watch?v=Y7eyTY…
