VGE 2014 - International conference on Geo-process Modeling in Virtual Geographic Environments (VGE)

To date, geographic modelling and simulation is now regarded as a fundamental approach to geographic process mining and complex geographic problem solving and has led to many cutting-edge geographical analysis tools, such as those involving in working with Virtual Geographic Environments (VGEs). VGEs offer a new generation of geographic analysis tool based on new types of web- and computer-based geographic environments which are built for understanding geographic processes and problem solving. Besides new kinds of databases and new forms of ‘big’ data, other core geo-process models have demonstrated the increasing importance of building of VGEs, with model sharing and model integration as its key issues.
To bridge the gap between model building and the design of geographic analysis tools, this conference aims at providing facilitation and communication between experts from multidisciplinary domains so that they are able to discuss several issues about how to make full use of geo-process models for geographic knowledge discovery.
The main conference topics will include but are not limited to:
1、Physical modelling
2、Social and behavioral modeling
3、The Modeling of Global change
4、Model sharing and related theories
5、Model integration and its application
6、Modelling and knowledge sharing in VGEs
