Spatio-Temporal Reasoning and Geographic Information Systems


Geographical information directly comes from the Real World observation, therefore the sources are multiple and qualities may be very different: inaccuracy, uncertainty and (spatial) incompleteness lead to many imperfections on data. Reasoning with such information, requires suitable representation and processing.
The purpose of this workshop is to promote interaction about the potential applications of artificial intelligence approaches in the context of spatio-temporal reasoning in GIS.
