SPATIAL REASONING (1997-1999)

1. Overview

On completion of the dynamic Geographic Knowledge Based Information Systems (dGKBIS) project (1994-1997) Frans Coenen continued his research work in spatial reasoning. Especially quantitative spatial reasoning founded on a tesseral representation. A number of "spin offs" from the dGKBIS project were i vestigated, including:

• Spatial ontologies
• Maritime applications
• Building and architecture applications
• Rulebase V&V tools
• timetabling,
• Case Based Reasoning (CBR).
• Document and image analysis.

Frans Coenen still has a healthy interest in Spatial reasoning particularly with respect to its potential application to Data Mining.
