             abstract = "Continuous change models are commonly based on the Systems 
                         Dynamics paradigm. However, this paradigm does not provide support 
                         for an explicit and heterogeneous representation of geographic 
                         space, nor its topological (neighborhood) structure. Therefore, 
                         using it in modeling spatial changes still remains a challenge. In 
                         this context, this paper presents an algebra that extends the 
                         Systems Dynamics paradigm to the development of spatially explicit 
                         models of continuous change. The proposed algebra provides types 
                         and operators to represent flows of energy and matter between 
                         heterogeneous regions of geographic space. To this end, algebraic 
                         sets of operations similar to those in Map Algebras are 
                         introduced, allowing the representation of local, focal and zonal 
                         flows. Finally, case studies are presented to evaluate the 
                         usefulness, expressiveness and computational efficiency of the 
                         proposed algebra.",
