ISBN: 0195135687 ISBN-13: 9780195135688 Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA OUR PRICE: $287.10 Product Type: Hardcover Published: August 2001 Annotation: Evolutionary models (e.g., genetic algorithms, artificial life), explored in other fields for the past two decades, are now emerging as an important new tool in GIS for a number of reasons. First, they are highly appropriate for modeling geographic phenomena. Secondly, geographical problems are often spatially separate (broken down into local or regional problems) and evolutionary algorithms can exploit this structure. Finally, the ability to store, manipulate, and visualize spatial data has increased to the point that space-time-attribute databases can be easily handled. |
