A method for evaluating the fitness-for-use of the network for navigation -- Development of a nationwide road change database for the U.S. in the post-recession years (2008-2012) -- Revising the Self-Best-Fit Strategy for Stroke Generation -- A Spatio-temporal Decision Support Framework for Large Scale Logistics Distribution in the Metropolitan Area -- Local Absolute Vertical Accuracy Computation of Wide-Coverage Digital Terrain Models -- Analyzing the influence of ethnic composition and immigrant residents on the spatial distribution of violent crime -- An Informed Virtual Geographic Environment Enhanced with Qualitative and Quantitative Information for the Geosimulations of Zoonosis Propagation -- A Stochastic Method for the Generation of Optimized Building Layouts Respecting Urban Regulations -- Spatial Variation of Privacy Measured Through Individual Uniqueness Based on Simple US Demographics Data -- Monte Carlo-Based Analysis of the Effect of Positional and Thematic Uncertainties on Biodiversity Models -- Examining Tail Distributions Of Moran's I Statistic Through Intensive Simulations -- Index. This volume includes top papers from the 2014 International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling and covers Web and Crowd-sourcing GI, Network Analysis, Spatial Modelling and Reasoning, and Statistical and Spatial Analysis. The Symposium is the premier long-running forum in geographical information science, providing a prestigious outlet to geographers, cartographers, computer scientists and others in this rapidly developing multidisciplinary area. |
