ADVANCED METHODS
IN SPATIAL
DATA PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS
6th-7th March 2012

INTRODUCTION

INVITED SPEAKERS
B. L. Deekshatulu, Institute for Development & Research

Data for various natural, anthropogenic, and socio-

in Banking Technology, Hyderabad, India

economic phenomena from a wide range of sources are

available at multiple spatial and temporal scales.

Malay K. Kundu, Indian Statistical Institute, India

Representation of such data available in continuous and

discrete forms in spatial form further invites a host of

novel

information. Such spatial information is useful to develop

cogent spatiotemporal models. Some of those novel

techniques have been emerged from the fields such as

Granular Computation, Artificial Intelligence, Spatial
Statistics,

Fuzzy

Theory,

and

Mathematical

Morphology. This workshop provides audience experience

of pioneering researchers who have been involved in
designing, developing and demonstrating the elegant
methods in spatial data processing and analysis.
