Colleagues,
Join SIGGIS for two exciting pre-conference events. At this year's
AMCIS conference
in New Orleans (Thursday, August 16), we will have a workshop and
tutorial
running concurrently:
*Workshop: Digital Disruption: A Workshop on the Implications for
the
Geospatial Realm*
*This workshop will serve as a research forum on the varied
aspects of
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the emergence of the
“Geospatial
Realm”. As the understanding that geospatial, or locational, data
has value
for many organizations, the focus on this special type of data has
also
increased. Workshop activities will be facilitated focusing on
this
research area to discuss the “who, what, where, when, how, and
why” of
participating in this burgeoning research domain. (Contact: Dan

*Tutorial: Social Media Operationalized for Locational Analytics:
A
Hands-on Tutorial*
*Social media such as Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook, have become
de facto
global communication channels to disseminate news, entertainment,
and one’s
self-revelations. However, though these organizations provide
real-time
data feeds that may be utilized in many ways, how does one
actually go
about using these data? This workshop will provide hands-on
instruction
regarding the collection, processing, and analysis of these data
using
Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools, Topic Modeling
Techniques, and
Geographic Information Systems (GIS). (Contact: Brian Hilton

Details and Agendas will follow as we get closer to the
conference.
