The ability to manipulate spatial data in different forms and to extract additional meaning from them is at the heart of GIS, yet genuine spatial analysis tools are rarely incorporated into commercial software, thus seriously limiting their usefulness. The future of GIS technolo…

Looking beyond classical techniques, this text covers the important practical applications of planning, such as model checking and game playing. It demonstrates the need for effective planning applications in areas as diverse as military operations, control of space vehicles and…
Automated planning technology plays a significant role in a variety of demanding applications, ranging from controlling space vehicles and robots to playing the game of bridge. This book covers both the theory and practice of automated planning. It is useful for researchers, pro…
The Foundations of Computational Mathematics meetings are a platform for cross-fertilization between numerical analysis, mathematics and computer science. This volume, first published in 2004, contains the plenary presentations, given by some of the leading authorities in the wo…
The variety, form and volume of data available to geologists have increased significantly over the past few decades. It has become essential to use databases (either analogue or digital) to turn this avalanche of data into usable information. Geologists have built many large and…
