The series Studies in Computational Intelligence (SCI) publishes new developments

and advances in the various areas of computational intelligence quickly and with

a high quality. The intent is to cover the theory, applications, and design methods

of computational intelligence, as embedded in the fields of engineering, computer

science, physics and life science, as well as the methodologies behind them.

The series contains monographs, lecture notes and edited volumes in com putational

intelligence spanning the areas of neural networks, connectionist systems, genetic

algorithms, evolutionary computation, artificial intelligence, cellular automata,

self-organizing systems, soft computing, fuzzy systems and hybrid intelligent

systems. Critical to both contributors and readers are the short publication time and

world-wide distribution this permits a rapid and broad dissemina tion of research

results.

Sixteen years ago, Franklin estimated that about 80% of data contain geo-referenced

information. To date, the availability of geographic data and information is growing,

together with the capacity of users to operate with IT tools and instruments. Spatial

data infrastructures are growing and allow a wide number of users to rely on them.

This growth has not been fully coupled to an increase of knowledge to support

spatial decisions. Spatial analytical techniques, geographical analysis and modelling

methods are therefore required to analyse data and to facilitate the decision process

at all levels. Old geographical issues can find an answer thanks to new methods and

instruments, while new issues are developing, challenging researchers towards new

solutions. This volume aims to contribute to the development of new techniques and

methods to improve the process of knowledge acquisition. The Geocomputational

expression is related to the development and the application of new theories,

methods and tools in order to provide better solutions to complex geographical

problems. The geocomputational analysis discussed in this volume, could be

classified according to three main domains of applications; the first one related to

spatial decision support system and to spatial uncertainty, the second connected to

artificial intelligence, the third based on all spatial statistics techniques.
