"With judicious editing from conference chairs, C.A. Brebbia...and P. Pascolo...the volume presents the state-of-the-art in MIS across applications that range from engineering to business and the economy. A particular feature is a number of papers dealing with improved human machine interface capabilities and, in particular, the emergence of Virtual Reality as a tool for MIS applications...a wise investment for those who seek enlightenment on how MIS are integral to every facet of modern life."


This book contains papers originally presented at the Third International Conference on Management Information Systems (MIS) incorporating GIS and Remote Sensing.

Management Information Systems have rapidly spread throughout a whole range of activities and are now an integral part of modern life. Presenting the state-of-the-art in a variety of applications ranging from engineering to business and the economy, this volume also includes a number of papers dealing with improved human machine interface capabilities and, in particular, the emergence of virtual reality as a tool for MIS applications.

Over forty contributions are included and these cover specific topics within environmental management, economic development management, application of GIS, modelling issues, remote sensing, integrated modelling and management, and virtual reality.
