The 5th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory,
COSIT 2001, took place at the Inn at Morro Bay, California, USA,
September 19 23, 2001. COSIT grew out of a series of workshops/NATO
Advanced Study Institutes/NSF Specialist Meetings during the 1990s
concerned with theoretical and applied aspects of representing
large scale space, particularly geographic or environmental space
(this history is elaborated in the prefaces of previous COSIT
proceedings). These are spaces in which (and on which) human action
takes place, and which are represented and processed in digital
geographic information systems. In these early meetings, the need
for well founded theories of spatial information representation and
processing was identified, particularly theories based on cognition
and on computation. This concern for theory provided an early
foundation for the newly emerging field of geographic information
science. COSIT is not backed by any particular scientific society
but is organized as an independent enterprise. The conference
series was established in 1993 as an interdisciplinary biennial
European conference on the representation and processing of large
scale spatial information after a successful international
conference on the topic had been organized by Andrew Frank et al.
in Pisa in 1992 (frequently referred to as "COSIT 0"). After two
successful European COSIT conferences with strong North American
participation (COSIT '93: Island of Elba, Italy; COSIT '95:
Semmering, Austria), COSIT '97 moved across the pond to the United
States, and was held in the Laurel Highlands, Pennsylvania.
