TIME-GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SCIENCE: A WORKSHOP ON TIME-GEOGRAPHY

GIScience 2012 Conference

Columbus, OH, USA – 18 September 2012

Enabled by new (geo)computational techniques and approaches, we are currently witnessing a resurgence of interest in both research papers as well as project methodologies that draw on the original concepts and theories from Time-Geography. This event aims to bring together researchers applying Time-Geographic concepts in their research in the multidisciplinary context of GIScience.

 Topics of this workshop include, but are not limited to:

  • Analytical extensions of the Time-Geographic framework
  • Innovative Time-Geographic methods addressing the problems of movement, transport and interaction
  • Scalability – how to operationalise aggregation and generalisation of space-time paths
  • Spatio-temporal data models for implementing Time-Geographic approaches
  • GIS-based methods for comparison of multiple space-time paths which explicitly consider spatial and temporal dimensions
  • Data sources (including VGI), data quality/resolution issues, and ‘models vs. real-world data’
  • Visualization of voluminous spatio-temporal data sets and their interpretation
  • Interactive approaches addressing any of the above
