The main aim of this paper is an application of Geographically Weighted Regression (which enables the identification of the variability of regression coefficients in the geographical space) in the analysis of unemployment in Poland 2015. The study is conducted using 2015 statistical data for 380 districts (LAU 1) in Poland. The research results show that the determinants of unemployment are div...

The study of urban spatial interaction is closely linked to that of economic geography, urban planning, regional development, and so on. Currently, this topic is generating a great deal of interest among researchers who are striving to find accurate ways to measure urban spatial interaction. Classical spatial interaction models lack theoretical guidance and require complicated parameter-adjusti...

Coevolutionary dynamics act on both species and their interactions in ways that shape ecological communities. It remains unclear, however, how the structure of communities at larger spatial scales influences or is influenced by local coevolutionary processes, and how mechanisms acting at these different scales feedback onto one another. Here we show that, although species interactions vary subs...

Spatial information plays an important role in social interaction with people. The ICIE (Immersive Collaborative Interaction Environment) is a platform which can present socio-spatial information, obtain human behavior with noncontact sensors, and have components to interpret socio-spatial information. In this paper, we explain the framework of ICIE and main architectures to capture human behav...

Functional quality of the student residence halls has a great deal of importance due to their collective nature and the fact that they are considered as housing units, identifying and defining the role of intermediary spaces on the spatial organization and and spatial consociation of student residence halls which is a compound system of masses and spatial borderlines can bring order to its syst...

In this paper we describe a fully implemented prototype for interactive storytelling using the UnrealTM engine. We describe the important mechanisms involved in the variability of plot instantiations, within a scenario of sitcom genre. We also provide an evaluation of the concepts of how the dynamic interactions between agents and/or the user influence the generation of story, with first result...

Using a time series framework, the paper studies the interactions of the annual real per capita GDP data of the G7 countries. We find evidence of six common nonstationary processes behind the international output dynamics. In addition, there is evidence for the existence of a common business cycle among these countries. The trend and cycle components of each output series are obtained with a pr...
