At a time when people use more and more geographic information
and tools, the management of geographical information in software
systems still holds many challenges and motivates researchers from
different backgrounds to propose innovative solutions.
Representing geographical space beyond our mere perception is key
to making relevant decisions, whether it is with respect to
sustainable development or to the planning of everyday activities.
Designing, sharing and exploiting such representations entails many
challenges.
This book presents recent software design projects, led in teams,
which sometimes have different backgrounds, to address these
challenges. It analyzes the specificities of these projects in
terms of motivation, data models and analysis methods. Proposals
are also put forward to improve resource sharing in this
domain.
