  • The topics in this book are the illustration of recent trends on flexible querying and reasoning about time and space related information kept in databases. Flexible querying tries to enhance querying expressiveness as offered in traditional database systems in many different ways, always aiming thereby to ease the extraction of data and information from the database relevant to the user. By flexible spatial and temporal reasoning is meant qualitative reasoning about the dynamic changes in the spatial domain, derived by either imprecision or uncertainty (or both), in case the available information is imperfect. The spatio-temporal database application field is wide and GIS (Geographical Information Systems) is an important part of it. In this context the management of imprecise and /or uncertain spatio-temporal information is particularly important since any observation of geographic phenomena is affected more or less by some kind of imperfection. Many of the contributions in this book are directly centred on GIS, some others are more general or focus on related application fields, presenting theoretical viewpoints and techniques that are inspiring or can be used mutatis mutandis for GIS. The book is divided into two parts. The first part bundles the contributions in which the focus is rather on advances at the theoretical level, thereby discussing examples and opening further perspectives. The second part presents contributions of which the core is a well-developed application. Though not the main issue of the book, representation of the information is an important component in the majority of the chapters, as querying and reasoning are mostly developed on top of one or another specific data and/or database model for the representation of points, lines and objects, the properties associated with them and their intrinsic position, mutual position in aggregations of objects, or their behaviour in the course of time. Most of the authors recognise the need to handle imprecision and uncertainty, ranging from dealing with the static aspects of imprecise or uncertain positions to the dynamic aspects of sequences of changes during time course and possible trajectories. The volume shows definitely that the use of the more advanced techniques that enable to deal with imprecision and uncertainty, can add value to the solution of a number of problems related to GIS.
