*FIRST INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON MOBILE GEOSPATIAL AUGMENTED REALITY*
   
Call for short papers
May 29-30, 2006
Banff Centre
Banff, Alberta, Canada
http://regard.crg.ulaval.ca


The research team of the REGARD laboratory (a component of the CRG -
Center for Research in Geomatics) is proud to invite you to the first
international workshop on mobile geospatial augmented reality (AR),
which will be held on May 29 and 30 in Banff, Alberta, Canada.

Initiated through a grant from the Canada Foundation for Innovation
(CFI), the REGARD laboratory is the first Canadian research laboratory
for mobile geospatial augmented reality. It provides the research group
with innovative technologies in augmented reality for emerging
applications in geomatics. The research applications implemented on this
infrastructure aim to provide users with geospatial information, in a
mobile context, adapted to their needs and their location. This will
greatly help the users to better understand and interact with their
surrounding environment.


*The aim and scope*

The purpose of this first international workshop on mobile geospatial
augmented reality is to establish an interdisciplinary forum for leading
researchers from universities, government agencies, and private firms in
order to present and exchange state-of-the-art research and applications
in this field. The workshop is meant to promote networking between the
participants, to initiate and favour discussions regarding cutting-edge
technologies in the field, to exchange research ideas and to promote
international collaboration. The key issues that will be covered during
the workshop include:

   1. Dynamic 3D modeling and simulation
   2. Location Based Services and real time geospatial data delivery
   3. Acquisition and spatial reference
   4. Multi-modal cognition and visualisation

Although the workshop focuses on mobile geospatial AR, the key issues
targeted by the workshop do not exclude research works dealing with
sedentary augmented reality. Presentations concerned with practical
applications that merge AR and geomatics are also greatly encouraged.


*Instructions for authors*

Authors are invited to submit short papers (1500-2000 words) related to
mobile geospatial augmented reality and one or more of the following topics:

   1. Dynamic 3D modeling and simulation

    * Dynamic data structures
    * Geosimulation
    * Moving object databases
    * Management and querying of moving objects
    * Distributed and mobile database design

   2. Location Based Services and real time geospatial data delivery

    * Real time delivery of 3D and hypermedia geospatial data
    * Geospatial Service Oriented Architectures and systems for mobile
      distributed computing
    * Geospatial processing web services
    * Context-aware mobile services and applications
    * GI and web standards and protocols

   3. Acquisition and spatial reference

    * Data capture and 3D digitizing
    * Positioning and real time tracking
    * Qualitative and quantitative spatial referencing
    * Pattern recognition
    * Matching and integration of virtual objects in the real world

   4. Multi-modal cognition and visualisation

    * Cognition and spatial cognition
    * Multi modality
    * Methods for public participation
    * Geo and in situ visualisation
    * Interface design and interactivity

All submissions must be original unpublished work written in English
that is currently not under review elsewhere. The submitted papers will
be refereed for their quality, originality and relevance by the
scientific committee. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop
proceedings.

The papers should be formatted according to a MS Word template available
at http://regard.crg.ulaval.ca/template.doc.

All submissions will have to be performed through the web submission
system which is available at http://regard.crg.ulaval.ca.


*Important dates*

The workshop will be held on the 29th and 30th of May 2006 and will
precede the 8th GEOIDE Network of Centres of Excellence annual
conference in Banff, Alberta. Here are the important dates for the
workshop:

   1. Short papers submission: April 07, 2006
   2. Notification of acceptance: May 01, 2006
   3. Registration: April 15, 2006
   4. Submission of final paper version: May 10, 2006
   5. Workshop: May 29-30, 2006
