Abstract-Nowadays, residential mobility (RM) is usually interconnected with other urban phenomena to give more realistic and effective to the simulation models in order to support urban planners and decision makers. Recent RM research works to describe models from a functional view; however researchers do less focus in providing software modeling of their RM applications. Based on this note, the article presents an agent cellular automata based modeling for advanced RM applications. The proposed modeling contains six models based on UML 2.0 diagrams which models parts of the system from different views. The work could be of interest for specialists (researchers, designers and developers) when modeling advanced RM applications.

Residential mobility is of great challenge to sustainable cities. Developing computer models based simulation could be a powerful tool to support informing urban decisions especially with the fact that half of the world's population now lives in cities. The present paper presents our detailed model of residential mobility which use an alliance Multi-agent systems and Cellular automata (MAS-CA) approach. Conventional Urban modelling approaches will be presented firstly with a distinct light sheded on the alliance CA-MAS approach. The model will be then exposed in its two functional and conceptual views. At the end, results of a scenario of growth population is simulated and discussed. Results of the simulation shows significant conformity with the underlying model hypothesis.
