Seminar on GIS

Third European GIS Education Seminar

The GITTA project covers the overall matter of Geographic Information Sciences (GIS). Spatial modelling (SM) is the particular theme of GIS as it is everywhere in the life cycle of Geographic Information (GI). No analysis without modelling, no database without modelling, no data capture without modelling, etc. Thus SM could be tackled in every module of a GIS course such as spatial analysis, da...

Seminar on Quantum Compression

Data compression is a branch of Information Theory, a field studying the mathematical theory of communications, founded by Claude E. Shannon in a landmark paper [1] dated 1948. Definition I.1. An information source in general is a random process. A discrete memo-ryless source (DMS) is an i.i.d process over a finite discrete alphabet X , with letter proba-We will discuss the DMS case only. The f...

Seminar on Records Theory

In quantum gravity, one seeks to combine quantum mechanics and general relativity. In attempting to do so, one comes across the ‘problem of time’ impasse: the notion of time is conceptually different in each of these theories. In this seminar, I consider the timeless records approach toward resolving this. Records are localized, informationcontaining subconfigurations of a single instant. Recor...
