Towards dynamic platial information systems: Representing geographic and social dynamics using geosensor observations

**该计划的*目的是促进新一代*陈旧的信息理论、工具和系统的发展，以便对复杂的地理和社会动态进行更逼真的建模、表示、可视化和分析。目标动态可能包括广泛的时空*主题，从购物中心的个人运动到更复杂的城市*动态。最近对场所作为人类活动空间这一概念的关注不仅要求观察、表示和分析物理环境的动态，而且还需要社会和人类行为动态以及不同米罗、中观和宏观尺度上的互动。近年来，由于地理空间和通信技术、无线传感器网络、物联网(IoT)等技术的进步，人们对*复杂的地理和社会动态的理解有了显著的变化。这显著*促进了“智能环境”的设计和开发的进步，突出了“场所”概念在此类环境中的重要性。这种从被动到智能和周围环境的转变需要重新审视*智能环境的新启示。地方是模糊和非正式的，它们的动态很难用传统的地理信息方法和技术来衡量和表示。人们不会根据纬度、经度、多边形、精确的距离和方向来考虑地点，但他们会通过名称来考虑地点，这些名称往往定义模糊，没有精确的边界，而且往往与上下文相关。将社交、社区和个人场所正规化是一个非常具有挑战性的问题。这一研究计划的总体目标是为新一代技术的理论、方法和工具的发展做出贡献，这些技术被称为“原生信息系统”，用于表示和分析复杂的地理和社会动态。将陈词滥调的概念形式化，定义和识别人与环境的相互作用，以及利用地球传感器网络观察和监测陈词滥调的动态，这些都是该计划的重要短期目标。为了实现这些目标，总体方法论将基于系统开发的基本步骤，依赖于非常创新和集成的认知设计和敏捷方法。在这里，我们*将开发和使用创新的地学和基于模糊的方法来解决*陈词滥调的信息问题的形式化和分析。此外，还将开发和测试用于部署传感器网络以跟踪和观察地点动态的创新方法。拟议的研究计划预计将通过*开发新一代陈旧的信息方法和工具来了解我们所在地区的丰富性，从而*大大促进该领域知识的进步。

**The*aim of this program is to contribute to the development of new generation of*platial information theories, tools and systems for more realistic modelling,*representation, visualisation and analysis of complex geographic and social*dynamics. The targeted dynamics may include a wide spectrum of spatiotemporal*themes ranging from individual movement in a shopping center to more complex urban*dynamics. Recent focus on the concept of place as the space of action of human requires*not only the observation, representation and analysis of dynamics of physical*environments but also it requires social and human behavioural dynamics and*interactions at different miro, meso and macro scales. Understanding of the*complex geographic and social dynamics has significantly evolved during recent*years thanks to advances in geospatial and communication technologies, wireless*sensor networks, internet of things (IoT), etc. This has significantly*contributed to advance in design and development of «smart environments» highlighting*the importance of the concept of "place" in such environments. This paradigm*shift from passive towards smart and ambient places requires re-examination of*the novel affordances of Smart Environments. Places are vague and informal and their*dynamics are difficult to measure and represent with conventional geographic*information methods and technologies. People do not think of places in terms of*latitude, longitude, polygons, precise distances and directions but they think*of places by names, often vaguely defined, without precise boundaries, and often*context-dependent. Formalising societal, community and personal places is a very*challenging issue. The overall objective of this research program is to*contribute to the development of theories, methods and tools for new generation*of technologies called «platial information systems» for representation and*analysis of complex geographic and social dynamics. Formalisation of platial*concepts, definition and identification of human-environment interactions and*observation and monitoring platial dynamics with geosensor network are among*important short term objectives of this program.  In order to achieve these objectives, the*overall methodology will be based on fundamental steps of system development relying*on very innovative and integrated Cognitive Design with AGILE methods. Here we*will develop and use innovative geosemantic and fuzzy based methods to address*the formalisation and analysis of platial information issues. In addition innovative*methods for deployment of sensor networks for tracking and observing dynamics*of places will be developed and tested. The proposed research program is anticipated*to significantly contribute to the advance of knowledge in the field by*development of new generation of platial information methods and tool for the understanding*of the richness of our places.****
