The course deals with advanced topics in GIS, such as Business aspects and Legal issues; Human-Computer Interaction; Cognitive Issues in GIS; Geosensors; Big Spatial Data; Spatial Statistics; and Machine Learning for GIS.

Fundamentals of geoinformation technologies: spatial data modeling, metrics & topology, vector and raster data, thematic data, spatial queries and analysis, spatial databases; lab sessions with GIS software

Independent study project with novel geoinformation technologies. Information on past projects:http://gis-lab.ethz.ch/

The course introduces students to the theoretical and technological background of mobile geographic information systems and location-based services. In lab sessions students acquire competences in mobile GIS design and implementation.

The digital revolution, spatial information and communication systems in particular, have a significant influence on the development of new transport systems. Participants acquire an in-depth understanding of the functionality and application potential of spatial information systems and services and of communication technologies for deployment in future transport systems and applications.

- Modelling and analysis of spatio-temporal and quantitative data using GIS tools.- Conception and design of a thematic map using GIS tools.
