Summary:In this paper, we discuss the model of an environment for a geographically based simulation system. The environment is structured as a graph in which nodes represent locations and edges represent paths between locations. The space is decomposed into a network of cells which are managed by cell controllers. In order to visualize location information at various levels of abstraction, we define the environment as a cell hierarchy.
