Recent days have witnessed an explosive growth in generating data in geographic domain which leads to increasing the applications of geographical information system (GIS). Due to this increasing of GIS, GIS faced the problem of effective management of the spatial information from different resources and in different forms. So, Geographical ontologies have been introduced to the geographical dom...

Spatial dependency and spatial embedding are basic physical properties of many phenomena modeled by networks. The most indicated computational environment to deal with spatial information is to use Georeferenced Information System (GIS) and Geographical Database Management Systems (GDBMS). Several models have been proposed in this direction, however there is a gap in the literature in generic f...

In this paper, a generic model for locating sellers in a geographical area is presented. The proposed model is based on buyers’ side attributes including price, quality, distance, income and discount, which determine the location of the prospective sellers. The required information for the model is acquired from buyers and the geographic information system (GIS). It is assumed that the agents (...

A.J. Heppenstall et al. (eds.), Agent-Based Models of Geographical Systems, DOI 10.1007/978-90-481-8927-4_12, © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012 Abstract Within this chapter we focus on the integration of Geographical Information System (GIS) and Agent-based modelling (ABM) and review a selection of toolkits which allow for such integration. Moreover, we identify current capabilities o...

the aim of this study was to present a model to identify and interpret sport places per capita according to distribution of thiessen networks in geographical information system (gis) space. to execute the model, three regions (5, 6 & 13) of isfahan city were considered and indoor pools were also considered as the sport place sample. dwg-format region maps and their blocks, spatial data and accu...

We present a novel GIS, Real Space GIS, which is a 2D & 3D integration GIS. Real Space GIS is based on Real Space which is 3D geographical space and 2D map space which is based on geographical sphere or ellipsoid comparing to Paper Space GIS which is based on traditional Paper Space based on paper map coordinates. Real Space GIS mainly integrates data structure, data model, data storage, data v...
