Spatio-Temporal Models and Geo-Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past few years, several theoretical spatiotemporal models have been successively proposed for a better representation of geographical phenomena. From early GIS modelling approaches, a series of extensions have been suggested to integrate time within object-based, field-based and dual representations of geographical data, while a series of formal qualitative approaches have also contributed to more fundamental frameworks that support advanced spatial reasoning capabilities. Meanwhile, many successful environmental and urban GIS research studies have demonstrated that the temporal dimension can be implicitly integrated by different representation and analytical frameworks. This Special Issue is calling for innovative works that integrate the spatial and temporal dimensions within theoretical, formal and practical GIS solutions as well as urban and environmental applications that demonstrate a sound integration of the spatial and temporal dimensions. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Formal spatiotemporal reasoning;

- Spatiotemporal ontologies and standards;

- Spatiotemporal modelling approaches;

- Graph-based representations to space and time phenomena;

- Qualitative spatial and temporal reasoning;

- Multiscale modelling;

- Combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches;

- Spatiotemporal query languages within GIS;

- Spatiotemporal GIS interfaces;

- Temporal indoor GIS;

- Location-based time GIS;

- Real-time GIS;

- Temporal web and wireless GIS;

- Spatiotemporal technologies;

- Spatiotemporal urban and environmental GIS;

- Spatiotemporal semantic web;

- Spatiotemporal data mining.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
