Agent‐based models of geographical systems (ABM‐GS) use computer simulation methodology to model complex geographic human–environment interactions. This entry defines ABM‐GS and describes their user community and realms of application. It characterizes sources of spatial, temporal, and behavioral complexity in geographical systems and demonstrates how ABM‐GS can be used to represent this complexity. It offers practical advice on their design and construction, then concludes with a brief discussion of limitations and challenges.
