• Revisiting Kappa to account for change in the accuracy assessment of land-use change models (2011, background): “Due to feedback loops, existing land-use patterns are found to be path dependent and therefore small variations in the original situation can develop into considerable variations in the final situation (Brown et al., 2005).”
• A CyberGIS Framework for the Synthesis of Cyberinfrastructure, GIS, and Spatial Analysis (2010, background): “Similarly, agent-based models, a cutting-edge simulation approach (Parker et al. 2003; Brown et al. 2005), often fail when investigating large-scale spatially dynamic and heterogeneous phenomena because of memory and computing power limitations (Bennett and Tang 2006; S. Wang et al. 2006; Tang and…”
