ABSTRACT
GeoComputation (GC) is new, exciting, and here, but what is it? Some writers seem to think it has been around as long as there have been computers being used in geography. Others that GC is more or less a ‘brand new’ invention. There is seemingly an understandable confusion so the purpose of this chapter is to examine some of the alternative definitions, identify the more appropriate ones, and then outline some examples of what it may mean in practice.
