The Third ACM International Workshop on Advances in Geographic Information Systems will provide an effective forum for disseminating original and fundamental research and experience in the rapidly advancing area of the use of computer science for spatial studies. Since the workshop will be held in conjunction with the Fourth International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management, (CIKM'95), participants will be able to maximize their interchange of experiences and knowledge among researchers and practioners across the entire field of knowledge and information management. ACM-GIS'95 will bring together leading researchers and developers and will strive toward setting future research directions in this area. The primary focus of the workshop is on new and original research results in the areas of theorical foundations, design, implementation and applications of GIS as well as experience reports from application specialists. The goal is to exchange research ideas and results among participants. Therefore the topics that will be addressed include, but are not limited to: - Query processing and optimization - Spatio-temporal data models and languages - Requirements analysis for GIS applications - GIS performance modeling and evaluation - Reasoning with GIS information - Imprecise spatio-temporal information - Semantics of spatio-temporal data - Quality aspects of geographic information - Design of spatio-temporal data structures - Spatial indexing and storage - Knowledge discovery - GIS meta data - User interfaces for GIS - Multi-media GIS - Digital libraries for GIS - Virtual reality in GIS - Interoperability among heterogeneous GIS - Electronic geographic data interchange standards - Parallel/distributed GIS - GIS and internetworking - Client-server architecture for GIS - GIS and cooperative work - Multidatabase GIS - Distributed spatial objects - Time in GIS - Active spatial objects - Moving objects in GIS - Real-time GIS systems - GIS software tools and environments - Novel applications in scientific and environmental domains - Integration with existing commercial products - Reports on experience with real applications Papers submission: ------------------ Authors are invited to submit complete and original research contributions or experience reports; submissions should be written in english and should include: - Title - Author(s) informations (Name, Affiliation, Postal address E-mail address, Phone/Fax numbers) - Topic(s) - List of keywords - Abstract (up to 200 words) - Text (double-spaced and no longer than 5 000 words) - References In case of multiple authors, an indication of which author is responsible for correspondence and preparing the camera ready paper for the proceedings should also be included. Submitters should indicate in a cover letter their willingness to attend the workshop and present their paper. All submitted papers will be refereed by at least five reviewers for quality, correctness, originality and relevance. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM-GIS'95 proceedings. We encourage submissions from both academic and industrial spheres. Proposals for panels that examine emerging, innovative, or otherwise provocative geographic information issues are encouraged as well. Panel proposals should include a summary of the topic and the names and affiliations of the panelists who have made a commitment to participate. Seven copies of the manuscript should be submitted by August 4, 1995 to Dr Patrick Bergougnoux, the ACM-GIS'95 program Co-Chair: Dr Patrick Bergougnoux c/o Michele Cuesta The University of Toulouse 1 CERISS laboratory Place Anatole France 31042 Toulouse Cedex - FRANCE E-mail : bergougn@irit.fr Phone : (33) 61 57 47 89 Fax : (33) 61 57 94 44 ---------------------------IMPORTANT DATES-------------------------- Paper submission deadline : August 4, 1995 Notification of acceptance : September 29, 1995 Camera ready paper due : October 27, 1995 ACM-GIS'95 workshop date : December 1-2, 1995 -------------------------------------------------------------------- To receive by post-mail the color version of this call for papers or for any more information about ACM-GIS'95, please send post-mail, fax or e-mail to Dr Patrick Bergougnoux at the above address. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ACM-GIS'95 Program Committee =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= General Chair: -------------- Niki Pissinou Univ. of Southwestern Louisiana, CACS Program Co-Chairs: ------------------ Patrick Bergougnoux Univ.
