About the Book

In an effort to further investigation into critical development facets of geographic information systems (GIS), this book explores the reasoning processes that apply to geographic space and time. As a result of an iniative sponsored by the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCGIA), it treats the computational, cognitive and social science applications aspects of spatial and temporal reasoning in GIS. Essays were contributed by scholars from a broad spectrum of disciplines including: geography, cartography, surveying and engineering, computer science, mathematics and environmental and cognitive psychology.

Review :
"This book represents the results of one of the initiatives designed by the US National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis to investigate the critical developments of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). . . . The papers presented in this volume are written by authors from a wide range of disciplines such as geography; cartography; surveying; engineering; mathematics and computer science; and even cognitive psychology. The book will, therefore, appeal to a very wide readership." --Australian Mineral Foundation Reviews "For those interested in the research frontier of GIS capabilities, or who desire a sense of what limitations impinge on GIS and how people may solve them, Spatial and Temporal Reasoning in Geographic Information Systems is a good place to start."--Geo World "This book represents the results of one of the initiatives designed by the US National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis to investigate the critical developments of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). . . .
