Spatial Information Theory: Foundations of Geographic Information Science（空间信息论：地理信息科学基础）

The LNCS series reports state-of-the-art results in computer science research，development，and education，at a high level and in both printed and electronic form. Enjoying tight cooperation with the R&D community，with numerous individuals，as well as with prestigious organizations and societies，LNCS has grown into the most comprehensive computer science research forum available.
The scope of LNCS，including its subseries LNAI，spans the whole range of computer science and information technology including interdisciplinary topics in a variety of application fields. The type of material published traditionally includes.
—proceedings （published in time for the respective conference）
—post-proceedings （consisting of thoroughly revised final full papers）
—research monographs（which may be based on outstanding PhD work，research projects，technical reports，etc.）.
