Abstract

Geography investigates changes in physical structures and distributions of objects in spatiotemporal world, which are shaped by geographic process (geo-process). With extensive simulation models used to study geo-process, this paper examines the status of geo-process modeling (namely model-based simulation) for multidisciplinary geo-processes across scales in virtual geographic environments (VGEs). The conceptual framework of integrated modeling in VGEs is proposed with a review of specific issues, including model sharing and management, collaborative modeling and uncertainty analysis. The contribution of a model base in model reusability and modeling management, concerning input data, parameterization, and simulation output, is detailed. Finally, this paper concludes with a discussion of future research directions for holistic geo-process modeling.
