Principles of Geographical Information Systems

Geographical Domain and Geographical Information Systems

In the eld of geography, we have beenexamining the contribution of the morpho-genetic rep-resentation to the comprehension of the cycle: reality,representation, model, reality. A distinction is madebetween map and geomap based on the notion of locus-object. 1. Foundations and limits of cartographic rep-

Geographical information systems: applications and limitations in oncology research.

The relationship between geography and cancer incidence and treatment is a critical area of health outcomes research. Geographical information systems (GIS) are software packages designed to store and analyze data related to geographic locations. Although more commonly associated with the social sciences and urban planning, the use of GIS software in medical research has been increasing. Moreov...

Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing: Environmental Applications

Precision farming is a management process, that involves the development and adaptation of knowledge – based technical management systems with the main goal of optimizing profit. Precision farming can be best understood as a cyclic optimization process, with control elements that measure both quantity and quality. This paper focuses on the GPS, the European Galileo and especially the methods us...

Geographical Information Systems An Overview

Although many GIS have been successfully implemented, it has become quite clear that two-dimensional maps with most complex contours and color schema cannot precisely present multidimensional and dynamic spatial phenomena. Most GISs in use today have not been designed to support multimedia data and therefore have very limited capability due to the large data volumes, very rich semantics and ver...
