Proceedings of the Second Annual Conference GeoComputation 97, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand, 26-29 August 1997
Abstract
The second GeoComputation Conference (GeoComp 97) and the 9th Annual Spatial Information Research Centre Colloquium (SIRC 97) have coalesced at Otago in 1997. It is an appropriate advance that the University of Leeds and the University of Otago combined these two events which are having an increasing impact on the geocomputing and spatial analysis communities. GeoComp 96 was held in Leeds and was a great success and 97 continues the tradition. The conference consists of over 40 research papers that are either presented orally or as a poster. All papers are printed in these proceedings and are available in a variety of electronic forms - namely CD and eventually on the conference web site. The themes that bind the conference are environmental modelling, artificial intelligence techniques, spatial modelling, integration of geographical analysis tools, cellular automata and visualisation. All these together form a compelling research area - geocomputing. The two additional outstanding themes - important for their predicted omnipresence are distributed environments and data analysis. These two alone will push the capabilities of geocomputing to the existing limits - and beyond
