Spatial information, and geographical information, includes a large amount of statistical data. Moreover, spatial information is pervaded with uncertainty due to the limitation of perception devices, and also to the need to extract and summarize information.

Many methods are currently investigated, from the viewpoint of their usability with geographic information: spatial decision theory, spatial reasoning, spatial statistics, ...

There are also several attempts to adapt soft approaches to spatial reasoning, by using fuzzy sets, possibility theory, rough sets, Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence, ...

The aim of this workshop is to serve as a forum for discussing such new trends that enlarge the traditional uncertainty view in the domain of geographic information.
