内容简介

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Geographic Information Science, GIScience 2006, held in Münster, Germany in September 2006.
The 26 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 93 submissions. Among the traditional topics addressed are spatial representations and data structures, spatial and temporal reasoning, computational geometry, spatial analysis, and databases. A significant number of papers deal with navigation, interoperability, dynamic modeling, ontology, and semantics. Geosensors, location privacy, social issues and GI research networks rank among the important and exciting new directions.
