Abstract :
A generic simulation tool aimed to explore the dynamics of spatio-temporal systems doesn´t exist yet. First steps in the direction of generic agent-based simulation tools were given with the Swarm project and Starlogo software. However these tools don´t provide an appropriate representation for space. Here, we argue for the need of integration among geographical information systems and agent based system (ABS) as a good metaphor for our spatio-temporal world and give an example, among in numerous, that could benefit from this: Web-based warfare games. Our example comprises a Web agent-based system that operates on data provided by geographical information systems and aims to simulate naval operations known as control of maritime area
