Special issue on “Qualitative Spatial Reasoning” Preface

In contemporary parlance, qualitative reasoning can be regarded as reasoning about physical systems by exploring their structural properties. Qualitative spatial reasoning, in particular, aims to express non– numerical relationships among spatial objects based on relations such as “in contact with” and “part of”. Its roots include the region-based theories of space of de Laguna [1] and Whitehea...

Special Issue

Special issue on spatial moment techniques for modelling biological processes.

Over the last two decades, there has been an increasing awareness of, and interest in, the use of spatial moment techniques to provide insight into a range of biological and ecological processes. Models that incorporate spatial moments can be viewed as extensions of mean-field models. These mean-field models often consist of systems of classical ordinary differential equations and partial diffe...
