Visual & Spatial Analysis: Recent Advances

Advanced visual analysis and problem solving has been conducted 
successfully for millennia. The Pythagorean Theorem was proven 
using visual means more than 2000 years ago. In the 19th century, 
John Snow stopped a cholera epidemic in London by proposing that a 
specific water pump be shut down. He discovered that pump by visually 
correlating data on a city map. This talk will focus visual decision 
making and problem solving in general with specific application in 
the geospatial domain -- combining theory with real-world practice.
