Map algebra: a data model and implementation of spatial partitions for use in spatial databases and geographic information systems
Markus Schneider,Mark McKenney +1 more
TL;DR: This thesis describes the design and implementation of Map Algebra, a type system and operations for maps in spatial databases, and provides an implementation model of maps, complete with algorithms to implement map operations, that can be directly implemented in a computer system.
A general framework for mining spatial and spatio-temporal object association patterns in scientific data
TL;DR: A general and modularized framework to address limitations when mining spatial or spatio-temporal scientific data and empirically demonstrate the efficacy of this framework on applications originating from the following scientific disciplines: bioinformatics, computational molecular dynamics, and computational fluid dynamics.

An inference system for relationships between spatial granularities
Gabriele Pozzani,Carlo Combi +1 more
TL;DR: This paper proposes an inference system for deriving spatial relationships that definitely hold, starting from a given set of relationships between spatial granularities, without evaluating them explicitly.
Verso un Ambiente Visuale Web-GIS per la Catalogazione e la Pubblicazione di Dati Archeologici
TL;DR: La progettazione di interfacce grafiche per sistemi GIS mira invece a consentire agli utenti " non programmatori " di utilizzare la propria esperienza per l'apprendimento e l'utilizzo del software a disposizione, dando luogo a un filone di ricerca volto a migliorare l'usabilità oferta

Book
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.

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.
