  • Abstract
    Computer models can provide valuable groundwork for decision making. Complex social systems present great challenges for building such models. New technologies and techniques enable us to attempt more sophistication in complex social models than in the past. This paper presented an innovative approach to model a large number of heterogeneous individuals on a fine spatial scale to assist the demographic planning in UK.
