             abstract = "Simulation models can be envisaged as a heuristic device useful 
                         for assessing, from long and short-terms, the outcomes from a 
                         variety of scenarios, translated as different socioeconomic, 
                         political, and environmental frameworks. A special class among 
                         them, spatially explicit models simulate the dynamics of an 
                         environmental system, reproducing the way its spatial patterns 
                         evolve, to project the probable ecological and socioeconomic 
                         consequences from the system dynamics. In this context, we have 
                         developed a spatially explicit simulation model of landscape 
                         dynamics Dinamica, as a tool to investigate trajectory of 
                         landscapes and dynamics of spatial phenomena. In this paper, we 
                         present its new version called Dinamica EGO acronym for 
                         Environment for Geoprocessing Objects. In this version, Dinamica 
                         was totally reengineered. The software environment holds a series 
                         of algorithms called functors. Each algorithm performs an algebra 
                         map algebra operator. To date, we have implemented the most common 
                         spatial analysis operators available in commercial GIS, plus a 
                         series of operators especially designed for spatial simulations, 
                         including calibration and validation methods. These func-tors are 
                         sequenced to establish a data flow in form of a graph. Through 
                         this graphical interface one can create models by simply dragging 
                         and connecting functors via their ports, which represent 
                         connectors to types of data, such as maps, tables, matrices, 
                         mathematical expressions, and constants. Thus models can be 
                         designed as a dia-gram and execution follows a data flow chain. 
                         This friendly interface allows the design from simple to very 
                         complex spatial models that are saved in a script language. As a 
                         result, Dinamica EGO software favors simplic-ity, flexibility, and 
                         performance, optimizing speed and computer resources, such as 
                         memory and parallel proc-essing. To illustrate its application 
                         potential, we present a version of SimAmazonia deforestation model 
                         imple-mented on Dinamica EGO platform, describing the functors 
                         employed in the design of this model.",
