It is also a primer - that is, a book which sets out the foundations and scope of this important emergent area from the same contemporary perspective. The catalyst to the emergence of geocomputation is the new and creative application of computers to devise and depict digital representations of the Earth's surface. The environment for geocomputation is provided by geographical information systems (GIS), yet geocomputation is much more than GIS. Geocomputation is a blend of research-led applications which emphasise process over form, dynamics over statics, and interaction over passive response. This book presents a timely blend of current research and practice, written by the leading figures in the field. It provides insights to a new and rapidly developing area, and identifies the key foundations to future developments. It should be read by all who seek to use geocomputational methods for solving real world problems.Geokalkulation geht über GIS (Geographische Informationssysteme) hinaus und umfaßt verschiedene Bereiche des Modelling, der Simulation und des Datenaufbaus im räumlichen Kontext. Verfaßt von führenden Experten, deckt dieses Buch eine Vielzahl der wichtigsten Themen auf diesem Gebiet ab. Besprochen werden u.a. High Performance Computer Systeme, Visualisierung und Modelling. Mit Auszügen aus programmatischen Reden der 3. Internationalen Konferenz für Geokalkulation wird eine Diskussionsgrundlage geschaffen für neue computergestützte Mittel und Techniken und ihre Anwendungen in räumlicher Kalkulation.
