Advances in Spatial Information Science
iConference Workshop
March 2014
Speakers/Program
- Keynote Address: Prof. Dr. Christian Freksa, Universität Bremen
- Prof. Freksa is a professor for informatics at Universität Bremen and head of the cognitive systems group (CoSy). His research interests focus on knowledge representation, specifically on the representation of spatial and temporal knowledge and on reasoning with qualitative, approximate, incomplete, imprecise, fuzzy, uncertain, and conflicting knowledge. In the CoSy research group he employs formal and computational approaches to knowledge representation, design computer models of spatial environments for simulation studies, and carry out autonomous robotic experiments in the spatial environment laboratory using diverse intelligent technologies. Prof. Freksa closely cooperate with researchers from other disciplines interested in the investigation of spatial structures, especially cognitive psychology, linguistics, geography, and design.
