Technical Perspective: Computing the Value of Location Data
"Computing Value of Spatiotemporal Information," by Heba Aly et al., describes a technique for computing the monetary value of a person's location data for a potential geo-marketplace.Computing Value of Spatiotemporal Information
We investigate the intrinsic value of location data in the context of strong privacy, where location information is only available from end users via purchase.Technical Perspective: Progress in Spatial Computing for Flood Prediction
There are few algorithms for multi-flow graphs beyond flow accumulation. The authors of "Flood-Risk Analysis on Terrains" take a big step to fill this knowledge gap.Flood-Risk Analysis on Terrains
In this paper, we study a number of flood-risk related problems, give an overview of efficient algorithms for them, as well as explore the efficacy and efficiency of these algorithms on real terrains.COLUMN: Last byte
