Forecasting the future with advanced data models and visualizations. To envision and create the futures we want, society needs an appropriate understanding of the likely impact of alternative actions. Data models and visualizations offer a way to understand and intelligently manage complex, interlinked systems in science and technology, education, and policymaking. Atlas of Forecasts, from the creator of Atlas of Science and Atlas of Knowledge, shows how we can use data to predict, communicate, and ultimately attain desirable futures. Using advanced data visualizations to introduce different types of computational models, Atlas of Forecasts demonstrates how models can inform effective decision-making in education, science, technology, and policymaking. The models and maps presented aim to help anyone understand key processes and outcomes of complex systems dynamics, including which human skills are needed in an artificial intelligence-empowered economy; what progress in science and technology is likely to be made; and how policymakers can future-proof regions or nations. This Atlas offers a driver's seat-perspective for a test-drive of the future.

Researchers and data analysts are increasingly relying on graphical tools to assist them in modeling their data, generating their hypotheses, and gaining deeper insights on their experimentally acquired data. Recent advances in technology have made available more improved and novel modeling and analysis media that facilitate intuitive, task-driven exploratory analysis and manipulation of the displayed graphical representations. In order to utilize these emerging technologies researchers must be able to transform experimentally acquired data vectors into a visual form or secondary representation that has a simple structure and, is easily transferable into the media. As well, it is essential that it can be modified or manipulated within the display environment. This thesis presents a data-driven modeling technique that utilizes the basic learning strategy of an unsupervised clustering algorithm, called the self-organizing feature map, to adaptively learn topological associations inherent in the data and preserve them within the topology imposed by its predefined spherical lattice, thereby transforming the data into a 3D tessellated form. The tessellated graphical forms originate from a sphere thereby simplifying the process of computing its transformation parameters on re-orientation within an interactive, task-driven, graphical display medium. A variety of data sets including six sets of scattered 3D coordinate data, chaotic attractor data, the more commonly used Fisher s Iris flower data, medical numeric data, geographic and environmental data are used to illustrate the data-driven modeling and visualization mechanism. The modeling algorithm is first applied to scattered 3D coordinate data to understand the influence of the spherical topology on data organization. Two cases are examined, one in which the integrity of the spherical lattice is maintained during learning and, the second, in which the inter-node connections in the spherical lattice are adaptively changed during learning. In the analysis, scattered coordinate data of freeform objects with topology equivalent to a sphere and those whose topology is not equivalent to a sphere are used. Experiments demonstrate that it is possible to get reasonably good results with the degree of resemblance, determined by an average of the total normalized error measure, ranging from 6.2x10-5 1.1x10-3. The experimental analysis using scattered coordinate data facilitates an understanding of the algorithm and provides evidence of the topology-preserving capability of the spherical self-organizing feature map. The algorithm is later implemented using abstract, seemingly random, numeric data. Unlike in the case of 3D coordinate data, wherein the SOFM lattice is in the same coordinate frame (domain) as the input vectors, the numeric data is abstract. The criterion for deforming the spherical lattice is determined using mathematical and statistical functions as measures-of information that are tailored to reflect some aspect of meaningful, tangible, inter-vector relationships or associations embedded in the spatial data that reveal some physical aspect of the data. These measures are largely application-dependent and need to be defined by the data analyst or an expert. Interpretation of the resulting 3D tessellated graphical representation or form (glyph) is more complex and task dependent as compared to that of scattered coordinate data. Very simple measures are used in this analysis in order to facilitate discussion of the underlying mechanism to transform abstract numeric data into 3D graphical forms or glyphs. Several data sets are used in the analysis to illustrate how novel characteristics hidden in the data, and not easily apparent in the string of numbers, can be reflected via 3D graphical forms. The proposed data-driven modeling approach provides a viable mechanism to generate 3D tessellated representations of data that can be easily transferred to a graphical modeling and ana

The United States faces numerous, varied, and evolving threats to national security, including terrorism, scarcity and disruption of food and water supplies, extreme weather events, and regional conflicts around the world. Effectively managing these threats requires intelligence that not only assesses what is happening now, but that also anticipates potential future threats. The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is responsible for providing geospatial intelligence on other countriesâ€"assessing where exactly something is, what it is, and why it is importantâ€"in support of national security, disaster response, and humanitarian assistance. NGA's approach today relies heavily on imagery analysis and mapping, which provide an assessment of current and past conditions. However, augmenting that approach with a strong modeling capability would enable NGA to also anticipate and explore future outcomes. A model is a simplified representation of a real-world system that is used to extract explainable insights about the system, predict future outcomes, or explore what might happen under plausible what-if scenarios. Such models use data and/or theory to specify inputs (e.g., initial conditions, boundary conditions, and model parameters) to produce an output. From Maps to Models: Augmenting the Nation's Geospatial Intelligence Capabilities describes the types of models and analytical methods used to understand real-world systems, discusses what would be required to make these models and methods useful for geospatial intelligence, and identifies supporting research and development for NGA. This report provides examples of models that have been used to help answer the sorts of questions NGA might ask, describes how to go about a model-based investigation, and discusses models and methods that are relevant to NGA's mission.

This book explores the concept of a map as a fundamental data type. It defines maps at three levels. The first is an abstract level, in which mathematic concepts are leveraged to precisely explain maps and operational semantics. The second is at a discrete level, in which graph theory is used to create a data model with the goal of implementation in computer systems. Finally, maps are examined at an implementation level, in which the authors discuss the implementation of a fundamental map data type in database systems. The map data type presented in this book creates new mechanisms for the storage, analysis, and computation of map data objects in any field that represents data in a map form. The authors develop a model that includes a map data type capable of representing thematic and geometric attributes in a single data object. The book provides a complete example of mathematically defining a data type, ensuring closure properties of those operations, and then translating that type into a state that is suited for implementation in a particular context. The book is designed for researchers and professionals working in geography or computer science in a range of fields including navigation, reasoning, robotics, geospatial analysis, data management, and information retrieval.

Media Boundaries and Conceptual Modelling forms part of the humanities tradition by facing one of the fundamental problems since antiquity: how different media represent the world we live in. It intersects also with the digital by addressing the problem with the help of a digital humanities method: computer assisted conceptual modelling. And it acknowledges the spatial turn by investigating the boundary between what has traditionally been the two main media for representation of geospatial information: texts and maps. It contributes to the further development of digital humanities and bridges the two areas of digital humanities and intermedia studies. Further, it strengthens the theoretical foundation for research and teaching in spatial digital humanities. The book meets the lack of critical discussion of the practice of digital mapping, offering a theoretically based understanding of such practices from a humanities perspective. More generally, it contributes to the theoretical discussion of modelling in digital humanities.
