The book is the culmination of a few years of work that began with a series of special sessions on GeoComputation organized at the 2012 North American Meetings of the Regional Science Association International (RSAI) in Ottawa, Canada. In addition, it complements the celebration of 21 years of the GeoComputation conference series as a major scientific forum dedicated to exchangingscientificadvancesinthisfield. We would like to express our sincere thanks to all our colleagues and authors who have participated in this project. They responded to our invitation and have selflesslygiventheirtimeandefforttopassionatelycontributetothiseditedvolume with chapters that cover various aspects of GeoComputation research. The twenty chapters are arranged into three thematic parts: an overview of GeoComputation asacross-disciplinaryfieldofresearchanditsrelevancetothescienceofregional systems;variouscutting-edgeaspectsrelatedtoagent-basedandmicrosimulations modeling; and finally the use of heuristics, data mining, and machine learning approaches. It was indeed a pleasure to work with the 45 contributing authors, and we are thankful for their patience during the extended book editing process. We are also thankfultoallthereviewers,authors,andexternalresearchers,whohavecontributed with thoughtful comments to the blind peer review process and have strengthened theoverallqualityandscientificrigorofthisbook.OurspecialthanksgotoTaylor Anderson and Olympia Koziatek from the Spatial Analysis and Modeling (SAM) Laboratory, Simon Fraser University, Canada, for assisting with the book editing process. The editors’ support for this book project would not be possible without funding from the Knight Foundation Endowment Fund at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and the National Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC)ofCanada. v vi Preface This edited volume represents acoherent body ofknowledge rooted incutting- edgescholarshipcoveringboththeoryandseveralapplicationdomainsthatwillbe ofinteresttoGeoComputationresearchers,graduateandundergraduatestudentsas wellasGISpractitionersinindustryandgovernmentagencies.
