Workshop on GridGIS: the fertilisation of Grid computing and Geographic Information System
Call for Paper
The 2006 International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing and Applications (ISPA 2006) (http://www.ispa-conference.org/2006 or www.ispa06.unina2.it) will be held at Sorrento, Italy, December 1 - 4, 2006. It is sponsored by Second University of Naples in cooperation with IEEE Computer Society TCSC.
Aim of the workshop The development of GIS sciences and technologies motivate the concern of the next generation of GIS, including multi-resources distributed, high-performance computation and data transfer, and collaborative platform of virtual organization for multiple end users. Grid technology offers the prospect of enabling new kinds of applications and new ways of working in the area of Geographic Information Science. GridGIS can be defined as a science at the intersection (crossing) of Grid computing and Geographic information System. It is characterised by modern Grid computing technology by information sharing, between geographically distributed sites and by real-time decision.
This workshop aims to provide a forum for examining the state of the art of GridGIS. The main objectives of this workshop are the definitions of theoretical and conceptual fundamentals of GridGIS, the description of applications and the related common fundamentals problems occurring and the determination and research proposal directions to improve the understanding and applications of GridGIS. It also provides a venue for scientists to network with their peers working in similar fields.
The main subjects of discussion and exchange will be, but are not limited to:
§ Definition and Architecture of GridGIS, including spatial information Grid theories and technologies, etc. § Middleware for GridGIS, which includes resource management middleware, task management middleware, user management middleware, login management middleware, message management middleware, security middleware, duplicate management middleware, error disposal middleware, and log management middleware, etc. § Algorithms in GridGIS, including cooperative computing of spatial information, parallel, distributed, and intelligent data processing algorithms, etc. § Security of GridGIS § Integration of remote sensing, Global Positioning System (GPS) with GridGIS § Data access service, metadata management and information service § Applications of GridGIS, including online spatial decision support system, Location Based Service, telegeoprocessing, telemonitoring, Digital Earth, public emergency prevention and monitoring, etc.
Invitation to Submit a Paper We invite you to submit a paper to the workshop on GridGIS. Submissions should include abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the corresponding author, and must not exceed 15 pages, including tables and figures, with PDF, PostScript, or MS Word format. Electronic submission through the submission website is strongly encouraged. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work. The submitted paper must be camera-ready and formatted according to the rules of LNCS. For formatting information, see the publishers web site (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Each submission will be refereed by at least three referees. The acceptance can be conditional on the basis of improvements as advised by the referee or program committee suggestions or because of inappropriate formatting and preparation of the paper. Whether your paper is finally accepted is subject to the discretion of the ISPA2006 organizers, on the basis whether the suggestions and guidelines have been followed. Please submit your full paper electronically for review by July 22, 2006 via the paper submission web page (http://www.ispa-conference.org/2006 or www.ispa06.unina2.it). A camera-ready version of your accepted paper must be submitted electronically via the paper submission web page (http://www.ispa-conference.org/2006 or www.ispa06.unina2.it) by September 20, 2006 and must comply with the camera-ready format.
Proceedings The proceedings of the symposium will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Papers accepted for oral representation will be collected in the Science Citation Index (SCI) Expanded database. A selection of the best papers for the conference will be published in a special issue of The Journal of Supercomputing and International Journal of High Performance Computing and Networking (IJHPCN).
