Simulation modelling of the ‘digital region’: conceptual approach

Abstract

The article presents a new conceptual approach to simulation modelling of the ‘digital region’. The advantages and disadvantages of using the discrete and continuous space of agents’ environment are studied. An estimate of the computational complexity of the corresponding simulation models is given. The transition towards combined models using enlarged segmentation of continuous space to identify problematic clusters with the subsequent applying the ‘analog’ approach to modelling the spatial dynamics of interacting agents is justified.
