Overview
- Provides the mathematics underlying geospatial abduction and the algorithms to solve them in practice
- Offers wide applicability in many different fields for practitioners and researchers
- Includes several lively, real-world examples that will explain the material very clearly to a reader
- Includes a web site dedicated to geospatial abduction, hosted at University of Maryland. In addition, the authors will record video lectures (30-60 minutes each) devoted to each chapter, as well as slides on each. These materials will supplement the book

From the reviews:
“This monograph is an attempt to formalize abductive reasoning based on geospatial information. It includes conceptual definitions, algorithms for exact and approximate solutions, descriptions of heuristics, and examples of applying geospatial abduction to real-world problems. … The exposition is comparable to senior undergraduate or graduate-level texts in algorithms and computability theory. … This monograph will be a useful addition to the shelves of academics, students, and developers working with geospatial knowledge in a variety of domains.” (R. M. Malyankar, ACM Computing Reviews, June, 2012)
