Opis

A collection of peer-reviewed articles, this multidisciplinary book combines coverage of topics from the perspective of GIS, computer science, image processing, and information and data processing. It brings together specialists to present research on visualization and computation of dynamics in geographic domains. The coverage incorporates theoretical, cognitive, methodological, and applied articles, making it not only a top-notch reference but also a textbook for courses in this field. Containing an 8-page color insert, the book is divided into three sections: Cognitive Aspects, Representation, and Data Models; Analysis, Computation, and Modeling; and Visualization and Simulation.
