Intelligent Spatial Decision Support Systems (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book lays a foundation on the conceptual, theoretical, system-development, and application perspectives of intelligent spatial decision support systems. Departing from conventional approaches that only concentrate on model-data integration, the author places emphasis on the artificial intelligence approach to spatial decision support.
