Qualitative spatial change
"Spatial change occurs whenever objects possess different spatial attributes at different times. This book discusses in detail the ingredients for a theory of qualitative spatial change: time, space, objects, their spatial attributes, and how these can very. It provides a solid formal and theoretical basis for the computational modelling of spatial change." "Readership: academic researchers in spatial information science, computer science, artificial intelligence, geographic information systems, mathematicians, cognitive scientists, philosophers."--Jacket
