GEOSIMULATION IN EDUCATION: THE EXPERTCOP SYSTEM

This research work proposes a generic architecture for pedagogical geosimulation systems. This architecture is characterized by the existence of a multi-agent system supported by a geographical information system. In this system, a pedagogical agent aims to define interaction strategies between a user and a geosimulator in order to make simulated phenomena better understood. The article also describes the ExpertCOP system, a geosimulator system of crime rate in a region, which is based on this generic architecture. In ExpertCOP, the police officers allocate their available police force according to the selected region and then, they can follow the simulation process. ExpertCOP system intends to induce users to reflect about their actions related to resources allocation through questionings about the causes that lead to the occurrence of crimes in the selected region.
