Abstract:
Advances in sensor technology have triggered the development of model-sensor frameworks that integrate real-time sensor data into simulation models. Successful implementations include sensor streams of physical properties of the environment, and traces of human mobility as captured by mobile devices. Implementation of real-time sensor-data streams from tagged animals is not yet in place. However, these are anticipated in the near future. In this research, we explore a model-sensor framework with a novel agent-based flocking model for homing pigeons and an emulated sensor stream that is derived from a previously recorded GPS track. Results point to conceptual shortcomings but also opportunities in transferring conventional models to an integrated model-sensor framework. From these insights, directions for further research towards automatic model-calibration and adaptive rulesets were identified.

GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.
Starting 2016, GI_Forum publishes two issues a Year.
