Many disciplines are concerned with manipulating geometric (or spatial) objects in the computer such as geology, cartography, computer aided design (CAD), etc. and each of these have developed their own data structures and techniques, often independently. Nevertheless, in many cases the object types and the spatial queries are similar, and this book attempts to find a common theme.
The book starts with some of the basics of manipulating coordinate representations so that the resulting object descriptions may be usefully combined and queried. The first chapter should be of value to...

Developments in Geographic Information 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 field of Temporal Geographical Information Systems (TGIS) have been developing methods of incorporating time into geographical information systems. Spatio-temporal analysis embodies spatial modelling, spatio-temporal modelling and spatial reasoning and data mining. Advances in...
