Description & Coverage
Description:

Geoinformatics is the science and technology of gathering, analyzing, interpreting, distributing, and using geospatial information. It encompasses a broad range of disciplines brought together to create a detailed but understandable picture of the physical world and our place in it.

The Handbook of Research on Geoinformatics is the first reference work to map this exciting interdisciplinary field, discussing the complete range of contemporary research topics such as computer modeling, geometry, geoprocessing, and geographic information systems. This expansive reference work covers the complete range of geoinformatics related issues, trends, theories, technologies, and applications.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • 3D surface models
  • Artificial Neural Networks
  • Cognitive ergonomic route directions
  • Cognitive Maps
  • Distributed geoprocessing
  • Distributed geospatial data
  • Geoinformatics
  • Geoportals
  • Geospatial and temporal semantic analytics
  • Geospatial web services
