Zusammenfassung Advances in Geo-Spatial Information Science presents recent advances regarding fundamental issues of geo-spatial information science (space and time! spatial analysis! uncertainty modeling and geo-visualization)! and new scientific and technological research initiatives for geo-spatial information science (such as spatial data mining! mobile data modeling! and location-based services). The book contains selected and revised papers presented at the joint International Conference on Theory! Data Handling and Modelling in GeoSpatial Information Science (Hong Kong! 26-28 May 2010)! and brings together three related international academic communities: spatial information science! spatial data handling! and modeling geographic systems. Advances in Geo-Spatial Information Science will be of interest for academics and professionals interested in spatial information science! spatial data handling! and modeling of geographic systems.
