Assistant Professor
Ph. D. University of Maine
"Kathleen
Stewart Hornsby is interested in modeling geospatial semantics, including
event-based modeling for dynamic GIS, reasoning about spatio-temporal phenomena
over multiple granularities, and ontologies and their role for GIS."
Kathleen Stewart Hornsby is an assistant professor
in the Department of Geography at the University of Iowa. Prior to this
position, Kathleen served as assistant research professor with the NCGIA-UMaine.
She received her Ph.D. in Spatial Information Science and Engineering from
the University of Maine in 1999. Dr. Stewart Hornsby's research interests
relate to modeling geospatial semantics, including event-based modeling
for dynamic GIS, reasoning about spatio-temporal phenomena over multiple
granularities, and geospatial ontologies and their role for information
system design. She teaches courses on spatiotemporal data modeling, geographic
database design, and fundamentals of geographic information science. Support
of her research has been provided by the National Geospatial-Intelligence
Agency, the National Science Foundation, and the Disruptive Technology Office.
Dr. Stewart Hornsby presented a keynote talk at the Workshop on Talking About and Perceiving Moving Objects at Spatial Cognition 2006. She also co-organized the UCGIS Workshop on Computation and Visualization for the Understanding of Dynamics in Geographic Domains in October 2006. Previously, she co-organized the research workshop on action-oriented approaches in Geographic Information Science held in 2002. She is chair of the Scientific Committee for the 2nd Conference on Ontology for the Intelligence Community ( OIC 2007) and a member of numerous program committees including the 7th International Workshop on Web and Wireless GIS (W2GIS 2007), the 10th AGILE International Conference on Geographic Information Science (AGILE 2007), and the International Conference on Spatial Information Theory ( COSIT 2007) among others.
