Management Information Systems 2004: Incorporating Gis and Remote Sensing (Management Information Systems)

Management Information Systems (MIS) are rapidly finding applications in many areas, including environmental conservation, economic planning, resource integration, cartography, urban planning, risk assessment, pollution control and transport management systems. Bringing together contributions from researchers in academia and industry as well as land use planners and technology network managers, this volume features papers presented at the fourth international conference on this topic. Representing the state-of-the-art in MIS, individual contributions reflect the various ways in which this technology plays an active role in linking together economic development and environmental conservation planning through its own unique characteristics. The growing use of MIS in various fields of application and the need to investigate different systems, including GIS facilities, are also highlighted.
