CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Fourth International Workshop on "Geographical Analysis, Urban Modeling, Spatial Statistics" GEOG-AN-MOD 09 http://www.lisut.org/workshop/GEOG-AN-MOD09/ in conjunction with The 2009 International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications (ICCSA 2009) June 29th to July 2rd, 2009 Kyung Hee University-Global Campus, Yongin (Korea) http://www.iccsa.org/ Workshop Description The growth of Spatial Data Infrastructures, Geo-portals and private sector initiatives (e.g. Google Earth, Microsoft Virtual Earth, etc.) produced an increase of geographical data availability at any scale and worldwide. This growth has not been fully coupled by an increase of knowledge to support spatial decisions. Spatial analytical techniques and geographical analysis and modelling methods are therefore required in order 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 the researchers for new solutions. This workshop is aimed at contributing to the development of new techniques and methods to improve the process on knowledge acquisition Programme Monday June 29, 2009 8:30 Welcome Address 9.00 Plenary session 10:40 Spatial simulations for socio-economical analysis and policies Chair Beniamino Murgante (University of Basilicata) Economic Evaluation and Statistical Methods for Detecting Hot Spots of Social and Housing Difficulties in Urban Policies Carmelo Maria Torre - Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, Polytechnic of Bari , Italy Silvestro Montrone, Massimo Bilancia, and Paola Perchinunno - Department of Statistical Science, University of Bari Italy An Urban Study of Crime and Health Using an Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis Approach Su-Yin Tan - University of Waterloo Robert Haining - University of Cambridge GeoSOM suite: a tool for spatial clustering Roberto Henriques, Fernando Bacao - Instituto Superior de Estatística e Gestão de Informação Universidade Nova de Lisboa (ISEGIUNL) Victor Lobo - Portuguese Naval Academy Geospatial Crime Scene Investigation - From Hotspot Analysis to Interactive 3D Visualisation Markus Wolff, Hartmut Asche - Department of Geography, University of Potsdam A model-based scan statistics for detecting geographical clustering of disease Massimo Bilancia, Silvestro Montrone, Paola Perchinunno - Department of Statistical Science, University of Bari Italy 14.00 Spatial decision support systems for risk prevention and disaster management Chair: Didier Josselin (University of Avignon) Using Causality Relationships for a Progressive Management of Hazardous Phenomena with Sensor Networks Nafaa Jabeur - Dhofar University, Salalah, Oman Hedi Haddad - Laval University, Québec, Canada Design and Development of an Intelligent Extension for Mapping Landslide Susceptibility using Artificial Neural Network Mohammad Hasan Vahidnia, Ali A.
