The study and application of spatial information systems have been developed primarily from the use of computers in the geosciences. These systems have the principle functions of capturing, storing, representing, manipulating, and displaying data in 2-D and 3-D worlds. This book approaches its subject from the perspectives of informatics and geography, presenting methods of conceptual modeling developed in computer science that provide valuable aids for resolving spatial problems. This book is an essential textbook for both students and practitioners. It is indispensable for academic geographers, computer scientists, and the GIS professional. - Serves as the first comprehensive textbook on the field of Spatial Information Systems (also known as Geographic Information Systems) - Contains extensive illustrations - Presents numerous detailed examples
Pequot Plantation tells the exciting story of southeastern Connecticut in early colonial days. The adventures of many early settlers are followed as they journeyed from England to Massachusetts and then to Pequot Plantation where they shaped the destiny of the new settlement. These families made an incredible effort to establish homesteads and create successful communities. At the same time, Indian fortunes declined in spite of the support they gave the new plantation and the valiant effort the Indians exerted to maintain thier place in a changing world. This is their story as well.

Inductive logic programming is a new research area emerging at present. Whilst inheriting various positive characteristics of the parent subjects of logic programming an machine learning, it is hoped that the new area will overcome many of the limitations of its forbears. This book describes the theory, implementations and applications of Inductive Logic Programming.
Current research activities are leveraging the Grid to create generic- and domain-specific solutions and services for data management and knowledge discovery. Knowledge and Data Management in Grids is the third volume of the CoreGRID series; it gathers contributions by researchers and scientists working on storage, data, and knowledge management in Grid and Peer-to-Peer systems. This volume presents the latest Grid solutions and research results in key areas such as distributed storage management, Grid databases, Semantic Grid and Grid-aware data mining. Written for a professional audience of researchers and practitioners in industry, it is suitable for graduate-level students in computer science.
Although many texts exist offering an introduction to artificial intelligence (AI), this book is unique in that it places an emphasis on knowledge representation (KR) concepts. It includes small-scale implementations in PROLOG to illustrate the major KR paradigms and their developments.****back cover copy:**Knowledge representation is at the heart of the artificial intelligence enterprise: anyone writing a program which seeks to work by encoding and manipulating knowledge needs to pay attention to the scheme whereby he will represent the knowledge, and to be aware of the consequences of the choices made.****The book's distinctive approach introduces the topic of AI through a study of knowled...
This is the standard work on the subject, and it is literally crammed with genealogies of the 17th-century pioneers of the county, most of whom were of Dutch, or, to a lesser extent, British, origin.
