Description
Book SynopsisGraphs, networks and agent-based modeling are the most thriving and attracting sciences used in ecology and environmental sciences. As such, this book is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject in the areas of ecology and environmental sciences.From this integrated and self-contained book, researchers, university teachers and students will be provided with an in-depth and complete insight on knowledge, methodology and recent advances of graphs, networks and agent-based-modeling in ecology and environmental sciences.Java codes and a standalone software package will be presented in the book for easy use for those not familiar with mathematical details.
Table of ContentsGraphs: Definitions and Concepts; Fundamental Topology; Matrix Representation and Computer Storage of Graphs; Trees and Planar Graphs; Algorithms of Graphs; Directed Graphs; Networks: Networks; Complex Networks and Network Analysis; Ecological Network Analysis-Advances; Ecological Network Analysis-Methodology; Agent-based Modeling: Agent-based Modeling; Cell Automata Modeling of Pest Percolation; Agent-based Modeling of Biological Community; Agent-based Modeling of Ecological Problems.
