In keeping with the field's development, this new edition takes a broader view and provides comprehensive coverage across the field of GeoComputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee What's New in the Second Edition: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eCoverage of ubiquitous computing, the GeoWeb, reproducible research, open access, and agent-based modelling\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExpanded chapter on Genetic Programming and a separate chapter developed on Evolutionary Algorithms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTen chapters updated by the same or new authors and eight new chapters added to reflect state of the art\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter is a stand-alone entity that covers a particular topic. You can simply dip in and out or read it from cover to cover. The opening chapter by Stan Openshaw has been preserved, with only a limited number of minor essential modifications having been enacted. This is not just a matter of respect. Openshaw's work is eloquent, prophetic, and his overall message remains largely unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn contrast to other books on this subject, \u003cb\u003eGeoComputation: Second Edition\u003c\/b\u003e supplies a state-of-the-art review of all major areas in GeoComputation with chapters written especially for this book by invited specialists. This approach helps develop and expand a computational culture, one that can exploit the ever-increasing richness of modern geographical and geospatial datasets. It also supplies an instructional guide to be kept within easy reach for regular access and when need arises. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert J.
