Summary
In this paper, we present a review concerning the coupling of Geographical Information Systems with agent-based simulation. With the development of new technologies and huge geographical databases, the geographers now deal with complex interactive networks which describe the new Geopolitics and world-wide Economy. The aim here, is to implement some self-organization processes that can emerge from these complex systems. We explain how we can today model such phenomena and how we can implement them in a practical way, using the concept of complex systems modelling and some efficient tools associated to this concept.
