Knowledge Bases Synthesis
The world around us is filled with unresolved problems and situations in which we lack a clear understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms and laws. The key to mitigating our ignorance and solving such problems lies in the physical knowledge bases

Preface Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events not of words. Trust movement. A. Adler
As its title suggests, the main goal of this book is the development of advanced functions for field-based Temporal Geographical Information Systems (TGIS). These fields may describe a variety of natural, epidemiological, economical, and social phenomena distributed across space and time. Within such a framework, the book makes an attempt to establish links between, (a) the currently conceived TGIS techniques, and (b) the Bayesian maximum entropy (BME) techniques of Modern Spatiotemporal Geostatistics. This link could be vital for offering significant improvements in the advanced functions of TGIS analysis and modelling, as well as generating useful information in a variety of real-world decision making and planning situations. To achieve the above goals, the eight Chapters of the b
