Zusammenfassung
By the growing use of geographic information systems (GIS) the use of cellular approaches for modelling
and simulation spatial and especially geographical processes and systems gains more and more
importance. This paper gives an overview over the basic definitions and emphasizes a proper differentiation
between the very tight definition of real cellular automata and the very universal one for cellular
systems.
On the base of these definitions typical problems are discussed, which raise for modelling spatial objects
given by raster or vector data and by representing spatial relationships between these objects.
Furthermore the difference in semantics between neighbourhood relation in GIS and neighbourhood
relations needed for modelling purposes are elaborated.
