OVERVIEW OF APPROACHES TO SPACE-TIME MODELING AND THE MAIN TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF T-GIS
Abstract
The purpose of the work is to consider the characteristic features of a number of basic approaches and their corresponding models of spatiotemporal (temporal) geodata models proposed in recent decades and to identify the main trends in the development of spatiotemporal modeling for temporal geoinformation systems (T-GIS). It is noted that it is not necessary to talk about a general approach to spatiotemporal geomodeling due to the variety of requirements and features inherent in specific tasks of specific T-GIS. Graph-based modeling of events and processes, an agent-oriented approach, the use of the paradigm of moving objects, as well as the integration of these approaches together are important areas.
