Integrating social and spatial networks will be critical to new approaches to cities as systems of interaction. In this paper, we focus on the spatial and temporal conditions of encounters as a key condition for the formation of social networks. Drawing on ...
In this presentation we introduce basic knowledge about the use of located health data to detect clusters of disease prevalence. Most often, geographic maps are produced to represent health data. Medical information is transmitted through thematic chorop ...
The notion of habiter (inhabiting in both a transitive and intransitive sense), developed in the course of the second half of the 20th century, made it possible to place the human individual in the center of spatial theories. Of phenomenological inspiratio ...
We introduce TOQL, a query language for querying time information in ontologies. TOQL is a high level query language that handles ontologies almost like relational databases. Queries are issued as SQL-like statements involving time (i.e., time points or in ...
Geographical Information Science and Cultural Anthropology are aimed to collaborate on development projects dedicated to indigenous communities. This fact is first based on a growing intention to integrate the reality and the perception of the development ...
In this paper, we present a HMM/ANN based algorithm to estimate the spectral peak locations. This algorithm makes use of distinct time-frequency (TF) patterns in the spectrogram for estimating the peak locations. Such an use of TF patterns is expected to i ...
A new architecture for GIS is presented based on a systems view of geographical space as it is popular in geography. Starting with concepts of spatial modelling, current GIS standards are examined for their suitability to support different modelling concep ...
Integrating social and spatial networks will be critical to new approaches to cities as material systems of interaction. In this paper, we propose a way of doing so by focusing on the spatial and temporal conditions of formation of social networks – namely ...
A frequency-domain method is proposed to measure the inertial response of forward stimulated Brillouin scattering, so that the acoustic impedance of a liquid medium outside an uncoated 30 m standard single-mode fibre can be sensed. The proposed technique o ...
