Students are expected to be able to gain access for a significant amount of the session to an IBM PC or one of its many variants.
This subject investigates a range advanced applications associated with spatial science and develops academic reporting skills. The discipline of geographic information science is critically appraised to consider its strengths and weaknesses, particularly with respect to time, uncertainty, multimedia and multiscale. The conversation leads to geocomputation, a term describing advanced techniques in spatial science that generally require significant computing power. Four major areas of geocomputation are discussed: optimisation, pattern recognition & classification, modelling & simulation and measuring & analysing. This subject has no residential school. Students completing this subject are able to make sound independent judgements about the application of a range of advanced spatial analysis techniques including those that have led to a much wider use of this technology in science, government, business, and industry.
