Geography involves a comprehensive understanding of both natural and human factors and their interactions. Related research topics can be generated from various disciplines (e.g., geomorphology, hydrology, soil science, biology, climate science, and social science), and the focus is on exploring the interactive mechanisms of surface processes. During the research of modern geography, increasing challenges emerge along the complexity, synthesis, quantification and multi-scale of geography. Accordingly, this trend has caused a great deal of challenges on current comprehensive geographical modeling and simulation. Obviously, a single model alone has very limited capacity of simulating complex geographical phenomena, and it can be difficult for a single research group with specific domain knowledge to address comprehensive geographic problems. A reasonable solution for scientific research on complex problems is to engage dispersed multi-disciplinary experts to discuss problems, perform experiments, and find optimal answers through collaborative research. As well, this is feasible and appropriate for geographic research. Nowadays, collaborative geographic modeling and simulation is becoming increasingly popular, involves a number of key issues, i.e., standardization for heterogeneous model, model building in visualized methods, model sharing and reuse on the web, and model integration and simulation. To facilitate collaborative study, an open geographical modeling and simulation architecture is highly desired, which will involve more scholars and their contributions on geographic problem solving. This workshop aims at exploring related theories, methods, and potential applications, facilitating communication between experts from multidisciplinary domains, encouraging extensive discussion regarding the potential directions of the field, and promoting further research for a bright future.
