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.
