International conference of Geo-Process Modeling in VGE: Managing and Sharing Geographic Knowledge

International conference of Geo-Process Modeling in VGE: Managing and Sharing Geographic Knowledge

http://www.iseis.cuhk.edu.hk/GPMinVGE/Home.html (The dateline of abstract submission is 27 April 2014) Geographical reasoning is an important way of thinking about the world and its inhabitants, but our abilities in spatial thinking and reasoning are still quite primitive and require extensive exploration.

This is initiating…
