CALL FOR PAPERS
 
5th ACM WORKSHOP ON=20
GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, USA=20
November 13-14, 1997
 
http://www.insa-lyon.fr/Labos/LISI/GIS.html
 
Scope of the conference: The scope of this conference will be to regroup=20
all people carrying out researches in novel systems based on spatial data=
=20
and knowledge. The emphasis will be essentially targeted to the developme=
nt
 of generic principles and systems in computing based on those applicatio=
ns. For cross-fertilizations and synergies between several applications c=
an help to develop new computing knowledge. Among others, we are especial=
ly looking for papers dealing with:
 
- Embarked GIS
- Spatial Decision Support System
- CASE tools for geomatics
- Visual languages and user interfaces
- Real time GIS, especially based on GPS
- Hypermaps and interactive mapping
- Visualization and huge synoptics design
- Computer Graphics semiology=20
- Multi-source fusion especially for updating
- Quality control and re-engineering
- Parallel and distributed GIS=20
- Knowledge discovery and mining
- GIS meta data- Multi-media GIS
- Digital libraries for GIS
- Virtual reality in GIS
- Interoperability among heterogeneous GIS=20
- Geographic data interchange standards
- GIS and internet working
- Client-server architecture for GIS
- GIS and cooperative work (CSCW)
- Multidatabase GIS=20
- GIS and Java=20
- Distributed spatial objects
- Spatial knowledge engineering=20
- Systems for spatial reasoning
- Systems for spatial negotiation
- Spatial data warehousing and indexing
- 3D GIS
- etc.
 
Among novel applications, attention will overall be paid to domains such =
as:
 
- risk prevention
- earth observation
- urban and environmental planning
- marine cartography
- transportation
- geomarketing
- geological information systems
- extraterrestrial mapping
- etc.
 
Submission:  Please, send full papers (4 copies), limited to 12 pages,=20
together with authors'names and addresses to the Program Committee Chairm=
an
 by May 1st, 1997. For electronic submission, only texts in WORD will be=20
accepted. Address: Prof. Robert LAURINI, ACM-GIS'97, LISI - 404  - INSA -=
