Geo-and-Mod 2014 | Giuseppe Borruso (University of Trieste, Italy), Beniamino Murgante (University of Basilicata, Italy), Hartmut Asche (University of Potsdam, Germany) | The growth of spatial data infrastructures produced an increase of geographical data availability at any scale and worldwide. Within a few years, all over the planet many Clearinghouse nodes have been arisen and more rapidly they have become Geo-portals with the main task of facilitating geographic data searching. At the same time the growing of availability of geographic data and information involve also private sector (e.g. Google Earth, Microsoft Virtual Earth, etc.). This growth has not been fully coupled by an increase of knowledge to support spatial decisions. Spatial analytical techniques and geographical analysis and modelling methods are therefore required in order to analyse data and to facilitate the decision process at all levels. Old geographical issues can find an answer thanks to new methods and instruments, while new issues are developing, challenging the researchers for new solutions. This workshop is aimed at contributing to the development of new techniques and methods to improve the process on knowledge acquisition. | LNCS
