Algorithms for Spatial Data Integration
The map construction problem (MCP) is defined as a spatial data integration problem relating to the integration of region data into map data. Although a purely geometric integration of regions into a map is known and is efficient, algorithms preserving th

Foreword
We are delighted to see this edited book as the result of our intensive work over the past year. We succeeded in attracting high quality submissions of which we could only include 19 papers in this edited book. The present text aims at helping the reader whether researcher or practitioner to grasp the basic concept of reusability which is very essential in this rapidly growing information era. The authors emphasize the need for reusability and how it could be adapted in the right way. Actually reusability leads to satisfy a multiobjective optimization process, that is, to minimize the time, cost and effort spent to develop new products, technologies, information repositories, etc. Instead of always starting from scratch and reinventing the wheel in a process that consumes and wastes time, effort, and resources, practitioners and developers should always look into the possibility of reusing some of the existing entities to produce new ones. In other words, reuse and integration are essential concepts that must be enforced to avoid duplicating the effort. This problem is investigated from different perspectives. In organizations, high volumes of data from different sources form a big threat for filtering out the information for effective decision making. To addres
