Geokalkulation geht über GIS (Geographische Informationssysteme) hinaus und umfaßt verschiedene Bereiche des Modelling, der Simulation und des Datenaufbaus im räumlichen Kontext. Verfaßt von führenden Experten, deckt dieses Buch eine Vielzahl der wichtigsten Themen auf diesem Gebiet ab. Besprochen werden u.a. High Performance Computer Systeme, Visualisierung und Modelling. Mit Auszügen aus programmatischen Reden der 3. Internationalen Konferenz für Geokalkulation wird eine Diskussionsgrundlage geschaffen für neue computergestützte Mittel und Techniken und ihre Anwendungen in räumlicher Kalkulation. (09/98)
