Visualizing Migration of Demographic Simulation in Prehistoric and Protohistoric Periods

Abstract

In this paper, we report two methods to visualize migration of people in an artificial society. The artificial society system we target have been developed for simulating demographic changes in prehistoric and protohistoric periods in Japan. The system is capable of long term simulation of demographic changes in and migration between areas. We visualize migration from two perspectives: global view and family view. Global view focuses on the flow of people in migration. Family view focuses family relations in migration and visualizes it with a graph.
