WORKSHOPS

 

First International Workshop on "Digital Information and Geographical Analysis"
DIGA 08

in conjunction with


The First International Conference on the Application of Digital Information and Web Technologies (ICADIWT 2008)
August 4th - 6th, 2008 VSB- Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic

Workshop Description
To date availability of geographic data and information is growing together with the capacity of users to operate with IT tools and instruments. Spatial data infrastructures are growing and allow a wide number of users to rely on them. This growth has not been fully coupled by an increase of knowledge to support spatial decisions. Spatial analytical techniques and geographical analysis and modelling methods are therefore required in order to analyse data and to facilitate the decision process at all levels. Old geographical issues can find an answer thanks to new methods and instruments, while new issues are developing, challenging the researchers for new solutions. This workshop is aimed at contributing to the development of new techniques and methods to improve the process on knowledge acquisition.

The programme committee especially requests high quality submissions on the following Conference Themes:

* Geostatistics and spatial simulation;
* Agent-based spatial modelling;
* Cellular automata spatial modelling;
* Geographical search engines
* Data mining;
* Urban modeling;
