Preface

In May of 2015, geospatial scholars from around the world came to the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), in Richardson, TX, for Geocomputation 2015, which was convened by the following Organizing Committee (a mixture of spatial and computer scientists): Denis J. Dean and Daniel A. Griffith (co-chairs), Brian J.L. Berry, Yongwan Chun, Yan Huang, Fang Qiu, Weili Wu, May Yuan, and Kang Zhang. This was an international, peer-reviewed, full-paper conference concerned with (1) enriching geography and the spatial sciences with a toolbox of methods to model and analyze a range of highly complex, often nondeterministic pro
