Space-time analysis is a rapidly growing research frontier in
geography, GIS, and GIScience. Advances in integrated GPS/GIS
technologies, the availability of large datasets (over time and
space), and increased capacity to manage, integrate, model and
visualize complex data in (near) real time, offer the GIS and
geography communities extraordinary opportunities to begin to
integrate sophisticated space-time analysis and models in the study
of complex environmental and social systems, from climate change to
infectious disease transmission.
This volume specifically focuses on research frontiers,
comparative research, and research and application interactions in
this field in the US and China, arguably the two most dynamic loci
for this work today. The contributions to this book, by top
researchers in China and the US, productively highlight the
differences and similarities in approaches and directions for
space-time analysis in the two countries. In light of the recent
rapid progress in GIScience research on space-time integration in
both countries, the book s focus on research frontiers in these two
countries will attract great interest in both countries and in
other parts of the world as well as among related disciplines. In
addition, the book also explores the impact of collaborative
research and publications underway in this area between the US and
China and will provide an overview of these collaborative efforts
and programs.
This book will not only be of interest to university-based GIS
researchers and students, but also to those interested in this new
area of research and applications like researchers and developers
in business, internet mapping and GIS and location based services
(LBS)."
