November 9-10, 2001

Call For Papers

The ACM International Symposium on Advances in Geographic Information Systems is the ninth of a series of symposia/workshops that started in 1993 with the aim of bringing together researchers, users, and practitioners carrying out research in novel systems based on geo-spatial data and knowledge, and fostering interdisciplinary discussions and research in all aspects of geographic information systems, in all their diversity. ACM GIS 2001 will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, November 9-10, 2001, in conjunction with The Tenth International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (ACM CIKM 2001). Papers covering areas with cross-fertilizations among domains and synergies between several applications are encouraged. Of particular interest are papers which address experiences with concrete applications. The conference program will feature paper presentations and interactive panel sessions. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: - Location-based services, and the digital earth - Mobile and distributed GI services - Smart cities and the digital government - Privacy and security - Intelligent transportation systems - Real-time spatio-temporal GIS - Visual query languages and expressiveness - Algebra and ontologies - Interoperability, XML, and standards - Embedded and ubiquitous GIS - Fuzzy spatio-temporal objects - Computer geometry, networking, and approximation algorithms - Large-scale GIS servers and Parallel GIS - User interfaces, visualization techniques, and animation - Multimedia and GIS, and digital libraries - Spatial, spatio-temporal and multidimensional access methods - Query processing and spatial/distance join algorithms - Modeling and multiple representations - Spatial and spatio-temporal aggregation and summaries - Dynamic maps, sensors, and moving object technologies - Novel applications and decision support - Spatial and spatio-temporal data mining - Spatial and spatio-temporal data warehousing - Performance evaluation and benchmarking - Reasoning and spatio-temporal data quality - Online and adaptive wide-area spatial query processing - Spatial mediators and intelligent agents
