Spatial Computing∗: Accomplishments, Opportunities, and Research Needs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a perspective on the societal accomplishments, recent cultural shifts, challenges, and opportunities in spatial computing based on the discussions at the 2012 Computing Community Consortium (CCC) visioning workshop, “From GPS and Virtual Globes to Spatial Computing – 2020,” held at the National Academies’ Keck Center to assess interdisciplinary developments and research challenges in spatial computing. In this article, we first provide detailed examples of transformative accomplishments resulting from spatial computing research. We then discuss the cultural shift resulting from the deep integration of spatial computing technologies into the everyday lives of citizens. This integration has presented a number of short-term opportunities for new developments in spatial computing along with long-term research needs to further transform our society.

Spatial Databases - Accomplishments and Research Needs
Spatial databases have been an active area of research for over two decades, addressing the growing data management and analysis needs of spatial applications such as Geographic Information Systems. This research has produced a taxonomy of models for space, spatial data types and operators, spatial query languages and processing strategies, as well as spatial indexes and clustering techniques. ...
متن کاملTrends in Spatial Data Mining
Spatial data mining is the process of discovering interesting and previously unknown, but potentially useful patterns from large spatial datasets. Extracting interesting and useful patterns from spatial datasets is more difficult than extracting the corresponding patterns from traditional numeric and categorical data due to the complexity of spatial data types, spatial relationships, and spatia...
متن کاملOpportunities for Biomedical Research and the NIH through High
The biomedical sciences are advancing at a tremendous rate. Some of the most notable recent accomplishments (such as the assembly of the human genome) have depended upon the use of high performance computing and data management (HPC). There are important areas of opportunity for the biomedical sciences to accelerate advances in knowledge and in practical medical treatments through the use of hi...
