IGU COMMISSION ON MODELLING GEOGRAPHICAL SYSTEMS
30th International Geographical Congress (IGC), Glasgow, 15th - 20th August 2004
Programme
Geographical Modelling and Regional Development 1
Chair: Robert Baker (University of New England, Australia)
Time: Tuesday 17th 7.30 - 8.50
Abstract (2 sessions): The sessions have been organised for the CMGS by Graham Clarke (University of Leeds) on behalf of the British and Irish Section of the Regional Science Association International. They explore how a variety of geographical modelling systems assist the understanding of regional development processes. The topics emphasised include land-use and transportation dynamics and the regional impacts of employment processes.

Systems Modelling 1: Spatial Statistics
Chair: Yee Leung (Chinese University of Hong Kong)
Time: Tuesday 17th 10.30 - 11.50
Abstract (2 sessions): Sessions organised by Richard Thomas (University of Manchester). Session 1 examines recent advances in the specification of spatial statistics. The plenary address considers the general nature of the relations between local and global spaces and their implications for drawing statistical inferences. This review is complemented by papers that examine the specifics of newly proposed spatial tests. Session 2 is primarily concerned with applicability and operability of process based epidemic models to understanding the diffusion of HIV/AIDS. Statistical approaches to characterising insect epidemics are also discussed.

Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
Chair: Atsuyuki Okabe (University of Tokyo)
Time: Tuesday 17th 15.30 - 16.50
Abstract: Session organised by Yee Leung (Chinese University of Hong Kong). Data mining is concerned to develop effective methods for extracting information from large spatial data bases. The topics covered by the presentations include the discovery of optimum classification rules, reconciling spatial and temporal data sets and combining decision tree methods with cellular automata to predict urban growth.

Space-Time Analyses
Chair: Yee Leung (Chinese University of Hong Kong)
Time: Tuesday 17th 17.00 - 18.20
Abstract: Session organised by Robert Baker (University of New England, Australia). The papers consider both theoretical and empirical issues in the representation of space-time phenomena. The former include the specification of new concepts like virtual space and weak gravity interaction while the latter include the analysis of unemployment, urban growth and the utilisation of gambling venues and the internet.

Multi-Scale Modelling in Physical Geography
Chair: Martin Charlton (University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne)
Time: Wednesday 18th 7.30 - 8.50
Abstract (2 sessions): The sessions have been organised for the CMGS by Garry Higgs (University of Glamorgan) on behalf of the Quantitative Methods Research Group of the RGS-IBG. Scale effects permeate the interpretation of all spatial data. Typically, these might be effects of the zoning system on the enumeration of spatial variables or the need to scale up point estimated parameters to describe properties of a given area. The papers explore these and similar issues as they arise in both physical and human geography with regard to designs that address more than one spatial scale. Landscape processes and crime and accident statistics are emphasised in the applications.
