Analyzing the subject from a computing perspective, the second edition explores conceptual and formal models needed to understand spatial information, and examines the representations and data structures needed to support adequate system performance. This volume also covers the special-purpose interfaces and architectures required to interact with and share spatial information, and explains the importance of uncertainty and time. The material on GIS architectures and interfaces as well as spatiotemporal information systems is almost entirely new.  The second edition contains substantial new information, and has been completely reformatted to improve accessibility. Changes include:    A new chapter on spatial uncertainty Complete revisions of the bibliography, index, and supporting diagrams Supplemental material is offset at the top of the page, as are references and links for further study Definitions of new terms are in the margins of pages where they appear, with corresponding entries in the index","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49568606126353,"sku":"GOR004391763","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50353952686353,"sku":"CIN0415283752A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51114935484689,"sku":"CIN0415283752VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51578971488529,"sku":"GOR004474003","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52103856357649,"sku":"CIN0415283752G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415283752.jpg?v=1750942743"},{"product_id":"gis-book-matt-duckham-9781466587199","title":"GIS","description":"Following two successful editions, the third edition of GIS: A Computing Perspective has been completely revised and updated, with extensive new content reflecting the significant progress that has been made in the realm of GIS within the last 20 years. Major new topics covered for the first time in this edition include: graph databases and graph query languages, ontology engineering and qualitative spatial reasoning, geosensor networks and GeoAI, decentralized computing and online algorithms, and critical GIS and data sovereignty.  Features    Includes an entirely new chapter on AI and GIS, including ontologies and the Semantic Web, knowledge representation (KR) and spatial reasoning, machine learning and spatial analysis, and neural networks and deep learning Presents new material reflecting the advances made in cloud computing, stream computing, and sensor networks, as well as extensively revised and updated content on cartography, visualization, and interaction design Connects the technology to the social aspects and implications of GIS, including privacy and fair information practices, FATE (fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics), and codes of conduct for responsible use of GIS Integrates the necessary background to foundational areas, such as databases and data structures, algorithms and indexes, and system architecture and AI, provided in context so readers new to those topics can still understand the concepts being discussed Incorporates over 20 carefully explained spatial algorithms; over 60 inset boxes with in-depth material that enriches the central topics; and more than 300 color figures to support the reader in mastering key concepts Welcomes a new coauthor, Qian (Chayn) Sun, to the third edition, who brings her expertise in topics such as web mapping, cloud computing, critical geography, and machine learning with big spatial data  Intended for anyone interested in understanding GIS, especially students taking upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in computer science and geography, as well as academics, researchers, practitioners, and professionals working in the field and involved in advanced GIS projects.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50697474769169,"sku":"NGR9781466587199","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51027693175057,"sku":"NIN9781466587199","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52146211520785,"sku":"NLS9781466587199","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1466587199.jpg?v=1750955559"},{"product_id":"geographic-information-science-book-matt-duckham-9783319115924","title":"Geographic Information Science","description":"This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Geographic Information Science, GIScience 2014, held in Vienna, Austria in September 2014.

This volume contains a collection of essays and discussions on this theme.  What is geographic information? What fundamental principles are associated with it? How can it be represented? How does it represent the world? How can geographic information be quantified? How can it be communicated and related to the other information sciences? How does HCI tie in with it? A number of other more specific but relevant issues are considered, such as Spatio-temporal relationships, boundaries, granularity and taxonomy.  This book is a revised and updated version of a collection of presentations given by a group of distinguished researchers in the field of Geographic Information Science who gathered in Manchester in July 2001. It should be useful for graduate students as well as researchers and high-level professionals.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52333044302097,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52333045022993,"sku":"NLS9780367454593","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780367454593.jpg?v=1758153516"},{"product_id":"decentralized-spatial-computing-book-matt-duckham-9783642441301","title":"Decentralized Spatial Computing","description":"Part I Foundations of Decentralized Spatial Computing.- Chap. 1 When Computing Happens Somewhere.- Chap. 2 Formal foundations.- Chap. 3 Algorithmic foundations.- Part II Algorithms for Decentralized Spatial Computing.- Chap. 4 Neighborhood-Based Algorithms.- Chap. 5 Location-Based Algorithms.- Chap. 6 Monitoring Spatial Change Over Time.- Part III Simulating Decentralized Spatial Algorithms.- Chap. 7 Simulating Scalable Decentralized Spatial Algorithms.- Chap. 8 Simulating Robust Decentralized Spatial Algorithms.- Chap. 9 Further Topics and Technologies.- References.- App. A Discrete Mathematics Primer App. B Relational Database and SQL Primer.- Index.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52407284662545,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52407285285137,"sku":"NLS9783642441301","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783642441301.jpg?v=1758771744"},{"product_id":"decentralized-spatial-computing-book-matt-duckham-9783642308529","title":"Decentralized Spatial Computing","description":"Part I Foundations of Decentralized Spatial Computing.- Chap. 1 When Computing Happens Somewhere.- Chap. 2 Formal foundations.- Chap. 3 Algorithmic foundations.- Part II Algorithms for Decentralized Spatial Computing.- Chap. 4 Neighborhood-Based Algorithms.- Chap. 5 Location-Based Algorithms.- Chap. 6 Monitoring Spatial Change Over Time.- Part III Simulating Decentralized Spatial Algorithms.- Chap. 7 Simulating Scalable Decentralized Spatial Algorithms.- Chap. 8 Simulating Robust Decentralized Spatial Algorithms.- Chap. 9 Further Topics and Technologies.- References.- App. A Discrete Mathematics Primer App. B Relational Database and SQL Primer.- Index.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52675249078545,"sku":"NLS9783642308529","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52761828196625,"sku":"NIN9783642308529","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783642308529.jpg?v=1762301476"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-matt-duckham.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
