A methodology is described for harnessing the power of supercomputer hardware to build an automated modeling system. The problems of applying this new approach to mathematical modeling in geography are discussed by reference to the design of better performing spatial interaction models. It is also possible that the results may provide clues about new theories and knowledge.
