On the Education of GIS Algorithm Design
نویسنده
چکیده
To teach the design of algorithms in an algorithmic GIS course, it is suggested to complement lectures with a particular type of project. How such a project can be set up is discussed, as well as a number of interesting results from the projects themselves. The projects address relative position of two regions, island group labeling, non-contiguous area cartograms, urban street network generalization, and diagram placement in administrative regions. The suggested approach of algorithm design is generally useful in research, not only for educational projects.
