ISATEM: An Integration of Socioeconomic and Spatial Models for Mineral Resources Exploitation

Abstract

International audienceIn the spatial-integrated socioeconomic model field, a multi-agent approach is appropriate for supporting applications modelled at a detailed territory scale, but it is less used than other approaches when supporting applications modelled at a larger scale. One possibility would be to have a more generic platform that is capable of supporting both levels. Moreover, at the spatial level, integration of dynamic spatial data and, in our case, spatial shape data should be reinforced so that, at any moment during a simulation, a user should be capable of exporting the temporal evolution of the spatial state as a (new) shape map, exploitable in a GIS tool. This paper aims to contribute to the improvement of these two aspects. We began the study with ADK, an existing agent platform, ending up with a new platform known as ISatEM. Our thematic interest is the field of mineral resources exploitatio

Prospective Analysis Of The World Lithium Market Contribution To The Evaluation Of Supply Shortage Periods

“…Given this objective, we then use modelling by a multi-agent system approach (Wooldridge, 2009), in which the system is composed of semi-autonomous interacting countries and where the behaviour observed globally is the result emerging from these interactions. The software systems used for all our work are (a) Isatem (Andriamasinoro et al, 2010) for the simulation, and (b) the proprietary tool SAS® for the various statistical tests.…”

“…While the statistical tests were performed with the proprietary tool SAS®, the simulation was implemented under the platform Isatem (Andriamasinoro et al, 2010). Isatem is constituted of a set of components in interaction.…”

“…The model has been implemented under the agent-based platform called Is@Tem [44]. While many simulation platforms exist in the agent field, this platform has been chosen because of its ability to display and simulate geographic data having a vector form (polygon, line, circle).…”
