This book may become a very important book for Geographic Systems and for geography in general, despite the fact, that it does not discuss anything geographical or spatial in its 400 pages. ... It must be hoped that many geographers use the methods to model geographical processes and to explore the dynamic behavior of systems in physical and human geography. Many M.Sc. or Ph.D. thesis could benefit from the rigor of the method and the application of the software. Modeling of dynamic systems - a la Forrester's Urban Dynamics - become feasible, even in the absence of detailed quantitative knowledge.

A significant barrier to application of QSIM to large-scale problems is the efficiency of qualitative simulation. Recently, a group at T.U. Graz in Austria have designed and implemented a special-purpose parallel hardware architecture for qualitative simulation. See their Web page and published papers.
