Agile 2015: Geographic Information Science As An Enabler Of Smarter Cities And Communities (lecture Notes In Geoinformation And Cartography)

This Is A Book Is A Collection Of Articles That Will Be Submitted As Full Papers To The Agile Annual International Conference. These Papers Go Through A Rigorous Review Process And Report Original And Unpublished Fundamental Scientific Research. Those Published Cover Significant Research In The Domain Of Geographic Information Science Systems. This Year The Focus Is On Geographic Information Science As An Enabler Of Smarter Cities And Communities, Thus We Expect Contributions That Help Visualize The Role And Contribution Of Gi Science In Their Development.
