Join us in San Diego for a SIGGIS Workshop on:
Research and Practice in Location Analytics and Spatial Analysis
Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina
Thursday, August 11, 2016, 8:30am – noon
This workshop focuses spatial analysis as an area of research within MIS. The area has been expanding very rapidly during this decade in the business world. Estimates indicated geo-services revenues approach $300 billion, and spatial applications are spreading rapidly on mobile, cloud, big data, and analytics platforms. The workshop seeks to provide the background from leading researchers and practitioners on how spatial analytics can provide new and promising avenues for MIS research, what the current status is of locational/spatial research is across the MIS community, and how leading business practitioners are using research techniques to apply spatial analytics and geographic information systems (GIS) for business decision-making. The keynoter from Esri Inc. will cover applying MIS methodologies and spatial statistics for practical spatial applications in medicine and health care. The workshop also includes discussion of the Call for an upcoming special issue of the journal Decision Support Systems on locational analytics and decision support.
