patterns to reveal hidden processes of urban crimes, taking an
interdisciplinary approach by combining criminology, computer
simulation, and geographic information systems into one comprehensive
resource. From Information Science Reference, 2008.
Designing
Web Map Services and Network-based Cybercartography
This book provides a comprehensive introduction of Web map services
including online map design principles, theories of cybercartography,
various real-world mapping applications, and the related Web GIS
technologies. The goal of this book is to provide a practical learning
guide to cartographic graduate students and GIS/Cartography
professionals who are interested in developing Web mapping
applications. Recent developments of network-based cybercartography
has
created a strong interest and academic research emphasis in the area
of

Open
Source Approaches in Spatial Data Handling
This book focuses on the nature and characteristics of open source
geospatial (OSG) software. The role OSG approaches to data handling
within the spatial information technology industry is the
cross-cutting
theme of the book. Within this theme, various sub-themes are explored
that introduce readers unfamiliar to OSG software to the nature,
purpose
and applications of OS programming and to the key new OS tools and
their application within the geospatial data domain. The book also
includes a discussion of new tools, approaches and applications for
those already using OS approaches to software development. From
Springer, 2008.
