This book presents the proceedings of Workshops and Posters at the 13th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT 2017), which is concerned with all aspects of space and spatial environments as experienced, represented and elaborated by humans, other animals and artificial agents.

COSIT 2017 Short Papers — Introduction.- Generating spatial footprints from hiking blogs.- Validating GEOBIA based terrain segmentation and classification for automated delineation of cognitively salient landforms.- Boundary based navigation is impaired in old age.- Distributing attention between environment and navigation system to increase spatial knowledge acquisition during assisted wayfinding.- Lake district soundscapes: Analysing aural experience through text.- Do skyscrapers facilitate spatial learning under stress? On the cognitive processing of global landmarks.- The virtual reconstruction project of unavailable monuments: An example of the church of Santa Maria Paganica in L’Aquila.- Socio-spatial networks, multilingualism, and language use in a rural African context.

This book presents the proceedings of Workshops and Posters at the 13th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT 2017), which is concerned with all aspects of space and spatial environments as experienced, represented and elaborated by humans, other animals and artificial agents. Complementing the main conference proceedings, workshop papers and posters investigate specialized research questions or challenges in spatial information theory and closely related topics, including advances in the conceptualization of specific spatio-temporal domains and diverse applications of spatial and temporal information.  

Offers an overview of the current work in spatial information theory Presents a vision of cutting-edge, specialized spatial technologies Includes inter-disciplinary research combining computer science, geography, and psychology
