http://popups.lib.uliege.be/1373-5411/index.php?id=2118 Participatory Anticipatory Rule Based Socio-Spatial Simulation Systems (PARBS4) is in this paper presented as an enrerging field for shrdying questions related to the participatory development, implementation, and evaluation of corporate and governmental plans and policies. Fields like anticipatory rule based simulatiorl GIS, policy, international business, and regional economics could support and/or hinder the development of PARBS4. In reviewing those, possibilities for advancement are identified, along with some of the gaps that need to be filled. Specific combinations of such possibilities are proposed, along with the criteria that could be used to evaluate them. At last, ERASE is proposed as an instance of an international interdisciplinary research programme whose pursuit could lead to the development of PARBS4 as a cognate field.
