Uncertainty Approaches for Spatial Data Modeling and Processing A Decision Support Perspective / [electronic resource] : edited by Janusz Kacprzyk, Frederick E. Petry, Adnan Yazici. - 225p. 57 illus. online resource. - Studies in Computational Intelligence, 271 1860-949X ; .
Decision Support, OLAP, Data Fusion and GIS -- Decision Support Classification of Geospatial and Regular Objects Using Rough and Fuzzy Sets -- Supporting Spatial Decision Making by Means of Suitability Maps -- Exploring the Sensitivity of Fuzzy Decision Models to Landscape Information Inputs in a Spatially Explicit Individual-Based Ecological Model -- Fuzzy Multidimensional Databases -- Expressing Hierarchical Preferences in OLAP Queries -- Imperfect Multisource Spatial Data Fusion Based on a Local Consensual Dynamics -- Database Querying, Spatial and Temporal Databases -- Querying Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Databases: Implementation Issues -- Bipolar Queries: A Way to Deal with Mandatory and Optional Conditions in Database Querying -- On Some Uses of a Stratified Divisor in an Ordinal Framework -- Integration of Fuzzy ERD Modeling to the Management of Global Contextual Data -- Repercussions of Fuzzy Databases Migration on Programs.
This volume is dedicated to the memory of Professor Ashley Morris who passed away some two years ago. Ashley was a close friend of all of us, the editors of this volume, and was also a Ph.D. student of one of us. We all had a chance to not only fully appreciate, and be inspired by his contributions, which have had a considerable impact on the entire research community. Due to our personal relations with Ashley, we also had an opportunity to get familiar with his deep thinking about the areas of his expertise and interests. Ashley has been involved since the very beginning of his professional career in database research and practice. Notably, he introduced first some novel solution in database management systems that could handle imprecise and uncertain data, and flexible queries based on imprecisely specified user interests. He proposed to use for that purpose fuzzy logic as an effective and efficient tool. Later the interests of Ashley moved to ways of how to represent and manipulate more complicated databases involving spatial or temporal objects. In this research he discovered and pursued the power of Geographic Information Systems (GISs). These two main lines of Ashley’s research interests and contributions are reflected in the composition of this volume. Basically, we collected some significant papers by well known researchers and scholars on the above mentioned topics. The particular contributions will now be briefly summarized to help the reader get a view of the topics covered and the contents of the particular contributions.
