GIS allows users to store, manipulate, and analyze spatial data represented in layers. It underpins data with vector locations that can then be plotted to show information geographically. Users can ask questions of spatially-related data, search for patterns and distributions, and investigate relationships between different data sets. How data is displayed through options like color, size, and classification can influence the patterns seen. It is important to consider who created data sets and how current they are.
9 Visualization In E Social Science

GIS and Agent-based modeling: Part 1
This document provides an overview of agent-based modeling and geographic information systems (GIS). It discusses why urban systems are complex and why individual-based modeling is useful for understanding urban dynamics. Agent-based models simulate individual agent behaviors and measure how system properties emerge over time from these interactions. GIS represents real-world phenomena spatially through layers of raster (grid) or vector (points, lines, polygons) data. Integrating GIS and agent-based modeling allows modeling agents located in actual spaces and discovering new patterns through their interactions over space and time. The document reviews example applications and modeling toolkits for building spatial agent-based models.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
