This proceedings volume introduces recent work on the storage,
retrieval and visualization of spatial Big Data, data-intensive
geospatial computing and related data quality issues. Further, it
addresses traditional topics such as multi-scale spatial data
representations, knowledge discovery, space-time modeling, and
geological applications. Spatial analysis and data mining are
increasingly facing the challenges of Big Data as more and more
types of crowd sourcing spatial data are used in GIScience, such as
movement trajectories, cellular phone calls, and social networks.
In order to effectively manage these massive data collections, new
methods and algorithms are called for. The book highlights
state-of-the-art advances in the handling and application of
spatial data, especially spatial Big Data, offering a cutting-edge
reference guide for graduate students, researchers and
practitioners in the field of GIScience.

This book contains a selection of papers from the 16th
International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling (SDH), the premier
long-running forum in geographical information science. This
collection offers readers exemplary contributions to geospatial
scholarship and practice from the conference's 30th anniversary.

Francis Harvey's poetry has long been firmly earthed in the Donegal
landscape that his been his homeland for much of his life. By times
delicate and elegiac, by times fiercely empassioned and
tough-minded, his poetry is much admired by those who know the
rugged landscape of which he writes so powerfully as well as by
those who first encountered through his poems. The publication of
his Collected Poems in 2007 was a major event in the Irish poetry
calendar, and showed Harvey to be as attentive as ever, both to
philosophical subtleties and to the wonders of the natural world.
Introducing that book, Moya Cannon refered to him as "a Basho-like
figure," so it is perhaps fitting that his latest work is a
sequence of haiku, inspired by his beloved Errigal.
This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This
IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,
have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
This accessible text prepares students to understand and work with
geographic information systems (GIS), offering a detailed
introduction to essential theories, concepts, and skills. The book
is organized in four modular parts that can be used in any sequence
in entry-level and more specialized courses. Basic cartographic
principles are integrated with up-to-date discussions of GIS
technologies and applications. Coverage includes everything from
what geographic information is to its many uses and societal
implications. Practical examples and exercises invite readers to
explore the choices involved in producing reliable maps and other
forms of geographic information. Illustrations include 170 figures
(with 15 in color). The companion website provides links to Web
resources for each chapter, plus downloadable PowerPoint slides of
most of the figures. New to This Edition *Chapter on online mapping
and Big Data. *New and updated discussions of remote sensing,
vector and raster data models, location privacy, uses of geocoding,
and other timely topics. *Chapter on the many uses of GIS, such as
in market analyses, emergency responding, and tracking of
epidemics. *Section overviews and an end-of-book glossary.
Pedagogical Features *Modules and individual chapters can be used
sequentially or in any order. *End-of-chapter review questions with
answers, exercises, and extended exercises for applying theories
and concepts. *"In-Depth" sidebars offering a closer look at key
concepts and applications. *End-of-chapter links to relevant Web
resources.
