Natural Hazards GIS-Based Spatial Modeling Using Data Mining Techniques (Advances in Natural and Technological Hazards Research)

Springer, 2018

This edited volume assesses capabilities of data mining algorithms for spatial modeling of natural hazards in different countries based on a collection of essays written by experts in the field. The book is organized on different hazards including landslides, flood, forest fire, land subsidence, earthquake, and gully erosion. Chapters were...

Planetary Cartography and GIS (Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography)

Springer, 2019

This book approaches geological, geomorphological and topographical mapping from the point in the workflow at which science-ready datasets are available. Though there have been many individual projects on dynamic maps and online GISs, in which coding and data processing are given precedence over cartographic principles, cartography...

How to Make Maps: An Introduction to Theory and Practice of Cartography

Routledge, 2020

The goal of How to Make Maps is to equip readers with the foundational knowledge of concepts they need to conceive, design, and produce maps in a legible, clear, and coherent manner, drawing from both classical and modern theory in cartography.

This book is appropriate for graduate and undergraduate students who...

Beginning MapServer: Open Source GIS Development (Expert's Voice in Open Source)

Apress, 2005

Maps have played a prominent role in human activity for thousands of years. One of the earliest known maps was uncovered during the course of an archaeological excavation in Turkey in 1961. The Çatalhöyük site is a neolithic settlement dating from approximately 6500 BC. The map consists of a partially preserved, painted plaster...

Web Mapping Illustrated

O'Reilly, 2005

With the help of the Internet and accompanying tools, creating and publishing online maps has become easier and rich with options. A city guide web site can use maps to show the location of restaurants, museums, and art venues. A business can post a map for reaching its offices. The state government can present a map showing average income by...

Ambient Findability

O'Reilly, 2005

How do you find your way in an age of information overload? How can you filter streams of complex information to pull out only what you want? Why does it matter how information is structured when Google seems to magically bring up the right answer to your questions? What does it mean to be "findable" in this day and...

Exploratory Analysis of Spatial and Temporal Data: A Systematic Approach

Springer, 2005

It seems curious that we have not found a general definition of this term in
the literature. In statistics, for example, data analysis is understood as “the
process of computing various summaries and derived values from the
given collection of data” (Hand 1999, p. 3). It is specially stressed that the
process is...

Practicing Software Engineering in the 21st Century

IRM Press, 2003

This technological manual explores how software engineering principles can be used in tandem with software development tools to produce economical and reliable software that is faster and more accurate. Tools and techniques provided include the Unified Process for GIS application development, service-based approaches to business and information...

Spatial Databases: Technologies, Techniques and Trends

Idea Group Publishing, 2004

Spatial database systems has been an active area of research over the past 20 years. A large number of research efforts have appeared in literature aimed at effective modelling of spatial data and efficient processing of spatial queries. This book investigates several aspects of a spatial database system, and includes recent research efforts in...

Landscape Simulation Modeling:: A Spatially Explicit, Dynamic Approach (Modeling Dynamic Systems)

Springer, 2003

When managers and ecologists need to make decisions about the environment, they use models to simulate the dynamic systems that interest them. All management decisions affect certain landscapes over time, and those landscapes are composed of intricate webs of dynamic processes that need to be considered in relation to each other. With widespread...

Nearest Neighbor Search:: A Database Perspective (Series in Computer Science)

Springer, 2004

From the reviews of the first edition:

"This monograph explores the way spatial database management systems aim at supporting queries that involve the space characteristics of the underlying data, and discusses query processing techniques for nearest neighbor queries. It provides both basic concepts and state-of-the-art results in...

Beginning PL/SQL: From Novice to Professional

Apress, 2007

This is a book about writing stored procedures for an Oracle database. A stored procedure in this context is a generic term for a program written in the Procedure Language extension for SQL (PL/SQL) that is stored inside the database when it is compiled. This means that you can then execute the program from inside the database. Why would you want...
