Geographic representation in spatial analysis
TL;DR: Existing tools in spatial analysis and new tools available from GISci have tremendous potential for bringing more sophisticated representations of geography to the forefront of spatial analysis theory and application.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relative positioning of stroke-based clustering: a new approach to online handwritten devanagari character recognition
TL;DR: A new scheme for Devanagari natural handwritten character recognition is proposed that is primarily based on spatial similarity-based stroke clustering and uses the dynamic time warping algorithm to align handwritten strokes with stored stroke templates and determine their similarity.
An Evolutionary Approach to Adaptive Image Analysis for Retrieving and Long-term Monitoring Historical Land Use from Spatiotemporally Heterogeneous Map Sources
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the potentials of retrospective geoinformation for monitoring, communicating, modeling and eventually understanding the complex and gradually evolving processes of land cover and land use change.

Towards a Generalized Map Algebra: Principles and Data Types.
Gilberto Câmara,Danilo Palomo,Ricardo Cartaxo Modesto de Souza,Olga Regina Fradico de Oliveira +3 more
TL;DR: This paper describes the design of a map algebra that generalizes Tomlin’s map algebra by incorporating topological and directional spatial predicates, and shows that it is possible to develop a foundational theory for GIScience where topological predicates are the heart of both object-based algebras and field-basedAlgebra.

Geographic ontology for major disasters: methodology and implementation
TL;DR: This research focuses on the design and implementation of a comprehensive geographic ontology in the case of major disasters, that is named GEO-MD, and illustrates its application in the cases of Haiti 2010 earthquake.

Metaphors We Live By
George Lakoff,Mark Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: Lakoff and Johnson as mentioned in this paper suggest that these basic metaphors not only affect the way we communicate ideas, but actually structure our perceptions and understandings from the beginning, and they offer an intriguing and surprising guide to some of the most common metaphors and what they can tell us about the human mind.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metaphors We Live by
TL;DR: Lakoff and Johnson as discussed by the authors present a very attractive book for linguists to read, which is written in a direct and accessible style; while it introduces and uses a number of new terms, for the most part it is free of jargon.
Journal Article
Maintaining knowledge about temporal intervals
TL;DR: An interval-based temporal logic is introduced, together with a computationally effective reasoning algorithm based on constraint propagation, which is notable in offering a delicate balance between space and time.

The Theory of Parsing, Translation, and Compiling
Alfred V. Aho,Jeffrey D. Ullman +1 more
TL;DR: It is the hope that the algorithms and concepts presented in this book will survive the next generation of computers and programming languages, and that at least some of them will be applicable to fields other than compiler writing.
