ABSTRACT

In our view Geocomputing includes approaches to human reasoning that try to make use of the human tolerance to incompleteness, uncertainty, imprecision and fuzziness in decision, making processes. In addition to neural networks and adaptive fuzzy systems, it also incorporates evolutionary computation, cellular automata, expert systems and probabilistic reasoning. Geocomputing is especially concerned with combinations of these methodologies and introduces the spatial dimension developed and structured by GIS into soft computing techniques (Zadeh, 1965).
