For the sixth consecutive year the AGILE conference promoted the publication a book collecting
high-level scientific contributions from unpublished fundamental scientific research. The
papers published in the AGILE 2012 LNG&C volume contribute substantially to Geographical
Information Science developments and to the success of the 15th AGILE conference (Avignon
France 24-27April 2012) under the title ¿Bridging the Geographic Information Sciences¿. This
year¿s conference emphasizes that geoinformation science geomatics and spatial analysis are
fields in which different disciplines epistemologies and scientific cultures meet. Indeed the
scientific articles published in this volume cover a wide diversity of GIScience related themes
including: Spatio-temporal Data Modelling and Visualisation Spatial Data Infrastructures Geo
Web Services and Geo Semantic Web Modelling and Management of Uncertainty Spatio-temporal
Data Quality and Metadata Mobility of Persons Objects and Systems Transports and Flows
Spatial Analysis Geostatistics and Geo Information Retrieval Modelling and Spatial Analysis
of Urban Dynamics Urban GIS GIS and Spatial Analysis for Global Change Modelling Impact on
Space and Geographic Information Science: links with other disciplines and people.
