Bringing producer and consumer debates together, GeographicInformation: Value, Pricing, Production, and Consumption provides a coherent perspective on what have become emotional and territorial issues of IPR protection and liberation. This book addresses a range of issues relating to GI, from its definition, ...
The Workshop Proceedings introduce research results received in the areas of GIS and technologies in relation with Corporate Information Systems (CIS). In this context the attention is also paid to a wide range of problems of data harmonization, integration and fusion (HIF) concept regarding CIS. The book ...
Although designed primarily for desktop mapping and analysis, GeographicInformation Systems have, for some years, been ‘coupled’ to other ‘allied’ technologies. This coupling or integration has occurred for some time due to the limitations in commercially available systems. It has occurred in several areas ...
In June/July 2008 the Institute for Geoinformation and Cartography at the Vienna University of Technology organized a scientific colloquium in this city, where 15 well-known scientists presented their ideas on research for the upcoming decade. This book contains papers prepared by the participants as well as by other researchers. The eighteen papers in this book reflect the opinion of a core ...
The diffusion and use of geographicinformation technologies have increased dramatically in recent years. This book considers the geographicinformation systems (GIS) phenomenon from a number of different perspectives. It presents the findings of recent research on the diffusion of GIS in Europe and North ...
Workshop Proceedings introduce research results received in the areas of information integration, development of GIS and GIS-applications for a wide spectrum of information systems varying considerably in purpose and scale. The new class of GIS - intelligent GIS - is considered, including principles of their ...
Geographicinformation systems have developed rapidly in the past decade, and are now a major class of software, with applications that include infrastructure maintenance, resource management, agriculture, Earth science, and planning. But a lack of standards has led to a general inability for one ...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Web and Wirelsss GeographicalInformation Systems, W2GIS 2008, held in Shanghai, China, in December 2008. The 14 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. The papers span a wide ...
Developments in geographicinformation technology have raised the expectations of users. A static map is no longer enough, there is now demand for a dynamic representation. Time is of great importance when operating on real-world geographical phenomena, especially when these are dynamic. Researchers in the ...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Web and Wirelsss GeographicalInformation Systems, W2GIS 2009, held in Maynooth, Ireland, in December 2009. The 12 revised full papers presented together with two invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from ...
Computer-mediated participation is at the crossroads. In the early heady days of the digital revolution, access to "high" technologies such as GIS promised the empowerment of marginalized communities by providing data and information that was previously hidden away from public view. To a great extent, this goal ...
This tutorial survey brings together two lines of research and development whose interaction promises to have significant practical impact on the area of spatial information processing in the near future: geographicinformation systems (GIS) and geometric computation or, more particularly, geometric ...
GeographicInformation Systems (GIS) have been experiencing a steady and unprecedented growth in terms of general interest, theory development, and new applications in the last decade or so. GIS is an inter-disciplinary field that brings together many diverse areas such as computer science, geography, ...
