Background: Carpet weaving is an occupation that requires sufficient and appropriate lighting. The lighting in carpet weaving workshops affects the productivity and the physical and mental health of workers. Therefore, the evaluation of the illumination and the identification of work stations requiring lighting modifications will be helpful in promotion of the health and safety of workers in ca...

The rapid development of crowd-sourcing or volunteered geographic information both challenges and provides opportunities to authoritative geospatial information. Matching geospatial ontologies is an essential element to realizing the synergistic use of disparate geospatial information. We propose a new semiautomatic method to match formal and informal real life geospatial ontologies, at both te...

Geospatial information catalogs are complex infrastructures that store and publish geographic information. They are an important part of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), systems that manage geospatial data for a wide variety of application domains. To be useful, a catalog must ef ciently support discovery and retrieval of geospatial information, working as a key component for planning and ...

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are widely used in different domains of applications, such as maritime navigation, museums visits and route planning, as well as ecological, demographical and economical applications. Nowadays, organizations need sophisticated and adapted GIS-based Decision Support System (DSS) to get quick access to relevant information and to analyze data with respect to g...

1. What is geocomputation? The first international conference on 'Geocomputation', hosted by the School of Geography at the University of Leeds in 1996, launched a new research agenda in geographical analysis and modelling (Openshaw & Abrahart, 1996): ''The art and science of solving complex spatial problems with computers'' (GeoComputation, 2012). The interest generated in this field was estab...

Liability in data, products, and services related to geographic information systems, spatial data infrastructure, location based services and web mapping services, is complicated by the complexities and uncertainties in liability for information system products and services generally, as well as by legal theory uncertainties surrounding liability for maps. Each application of geospatial technol...

The term Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) is quite cumbersome, and it has no single, shared definition [...]

As the acquisition and use of information are costly, the optimal use of information involves economic tradeoffs. Therefore, valuing information is attracting research and thought. However, till now, little attention has been paid to the geospatial information domain, which is increasingly coming to the attention of decision makers seeking to improve decision models by considering spatio-tempor...
