Description
Alles über E-Books | Antworten auf Fragen rund um E-Books, Kopierschutz und Dateiformate finden Sie in unserem Info- & Hilfebereich.
This
book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference
on Geographical Information Systems Theory, Applications and Management, held
in Barcelona, Spain, in April 2015.
The
10 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 45
submissions. The papers address new challenges in geo-spatial data
sensing, observation, representation, processing, visualization, sharing and
managing. They concern information and communications technology (ICT) as well
as management of information and knowledge-based systems.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
