Recent advances in geographic information systems (GIS) and artificial
intelligence (AI) techniques have been summarised, concentrating on the theoretical
aspects of their construction and use. Existing projects combining AI and GIS have also
been discussed, with attention paid to the interfacing methods used and problems
uncovered by the approaches. AI and GIS have been combined in this research to create
an intelligent GIS for design. This has been applied to off-shore pipeline route design.
The system was tested using data from a real pipeline design project. [Continues.]
