Spatial Databases and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Speakers: Hanan Samet
Topic(s): Application Oriented Computing,Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques,Databases & Information,Information Retrieval,Management Information Systems
Abstract
An introduction is given to the spatial database issues involved in
the design of geographic information systems (GIS) from the perspective
of a computer scientist. Some of the topics to be discussed include
the nature of a GIS and the functionalities that are desired in such
systems. Representation issues will also be reviewed. The emphasis
will be on indexing methods as well as the integration of spatial and
nonspatial data. Demos will be shown of the SAND Spatial Browser
(http://www.cs.umd.edu/~brabec/sandjava) as well as the VASCO JAVA applet (http://www.cs.umd.edu/~hjs/quadtree/index.html) which illustrate
these ideas.
