Computer simulations are paramount for the analysis of complex geographic phenomena and their outcomes. The analysis of such geosimulation models is crucial for solving real-world problems pertaining to complex spatial systems, such as urban areas, transportation networks, as well as natural, built, and social environments. Within this nexus, the geosimulation community works on addressing several challenges of great urgency, ranging from multi-agent based spatial simulation, big spatial data, parallelization and distribution, as well as verification and validation. The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on GeoSpatial Simulation attempts to be a platform for showcasing the advances within the field, and to act as an incubator for novel and ambitious projects.

Towards geographically robust statistically significant regional colocation pattern detection
Given a set S of spatial feature-types, its feature-instances, a study area, and a neighbor relationship, the goal is to find pairs <a region (rg), a subset C of S> such that C is a statistically significant regional colocation pattern in region rg. For ...
