 Some of these applications take advantage of the spatial dynamic representation of CA models. This possibility was explored particularly by Epstein and Axtell (1996) who developed an ABM of an artificial society, known as Sugarscape, for the study of social phenomena and human behavior. Some of these applications take advantage of the spatial dynamic representation of CA models.
