In our recent book 'Spatial Simulation: Exploring Pattern and Process' (co-authored with George Perry) we propose a classification of dynamic spatial models into broad process categories of aggregation-segregation, movement, and growth. I revisit these categories and show how thinking about process models in this way leads to ‘building block’ spatial models. Such building block models offer a number of advantages in helping us to build and to understand complicated simulation models. Further, these building blocks may provide a way forward in the development of more dynamic, process-based, geographical information systems.

David O’Sullivan is Associate Professor of Geography at the University of California, Berkeley and the author of numerous books and articles on spatial analysis, simulation and modeling, as well as the social implications of ubiquitous geospatial data and technologies. Much of his recent work sits at the boundary of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, exploring narrative approaches to the analysis of models.
