ACM GIS 99

7th ACM International Symposium
on Geographic Information Systems

Preliminary Call for Papers

November 5-6, 1999,
Kansas City, USA

http://www.dcc.unicamp.br/~cmbm/acmgis99

This symposium aims at bringing together people carrying out research in
novel systems based on geo-spatial data and knowledge. ACM GIS'99 will
happen, within the framework of the 8th International Conference on
Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM). Papers covering areas with
cross-fertilizations among domains and synergies between several
applications are encouraged. Among others, we are looking for papers
dealing with:

- Embarked GIS
- Spatial aspects of mobile computing
- Spatial Decision Support Systems and CSCW
- CASE tools for geomatics
- Real time GIS, especially based on GPS
- Interactive mapping, visualization and interface design
- Multidatabase spatial data structures and indexing
- Animated cartography
- Multi-source fusion
- Quality control and re-engineering
- Management of parallel and distributed GIS
- Spatial knowledge discovery, knowledge engineering
- Spatial data mining
- GIS metadata
- Multimedia GIS
- Digital libraries for GIS
- Virtual reality in GIS
- Interoperability, heterogeneous GIS and geographic data interchange
standards
- GIS and the internet
- Systems for spatial reasoning and negotiation
- Spatial data warehousing and indexing
- 3D GIS
- Spatio-temporal databases

Novel applications include (but are not restricted to):

- Urban and environmental planning
- Risk prevention
- Earth observation
- Marine cartography and oceanography
- Transportation
- Geomarketing
- Geological information systems
- Extraterrestrial mapping
- Telegeomonitoring
- Precision farming and agriculture applications
- Archeology
