Integrating Models and Geographical Information Systems

Abstract

Introduction Since geographic information systems (GIS) currently dominate the perception of how computing and geography should interface, and since geocomputation is providing analysts of spatial phenomena with ever more powerful computing tools, it may be helpful to examine the experience that has accrued concerning links between them. Our examination is both empirical and normative, and the reader may find it useful to repeat at least some of our literature surveys, since new papers and articles are accumulating rapidly. Searching on the key words "GIS" and "model*" or "integrat*", where "*" is the wild card, led to a wide range of hits both in ISI Science and Social Science Citations Indices, and in OCLC-FirstSearch. These sources primarily contain journal articles, while conference proceedings may be searched at the Ohio State University GIS Master Bibliography Project, and more recently through the web-sites of conference organisers, such as NCGIA and GISDATA in Europe.
