Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have gone a great way since it has started as a science. GIS is making headlines in a number of disciplines and, through its advancement, has improved our ability to model our real world. In the past years the need to support the storage and retrieval of dynamic changes, which occur to our data, has increased which consequently led to the interest in spatio-temporal behavior in GIS. These years have also seen the birth of several spatio-temporal data Models, whose aim is to support this spatio-temporal behavior. The main aim behind Spatio-Temporal support is ...

Recent research in Geographic Information Systems (GISs) has created the kind of systems capable of modeling a number of interesting real world phenomena. Some applications where GISs have made significant contribution include routing, scheduling, dispatching, transportation logistics, vehicle tracking, market research, construction Planning, facility management and resource distribution. However, there seems to exist little connection between GIS solutions and much related research being carried out in other disciplines. This thesis studies the advantages of integrating recent research in ...
