First Call for Papers/Posters
The Cartography and Geographic Information Society (CaGIS) is hosting
a research symposium on cartography in the 21st century.  With the
advent of these technologies cartography has changed again and new
research is underway to develop maps, geospatial data, and geographic
databases for the 21st century.

CaGIS invites cartographers, geographers, geo-geeks, and other
scientists conducting research on the cutting edge of the new
geospatial web and Internet cartography to submit abstracts for
AUTO-CARTO 2006 to be held in conjunction with the UCGIS 2006 Summer
Assembly at the Heathman Lodge, Vancouver, Washington June 26-28,
2006. Join us at the conference exploring exciting new research in
cartography and geographic information science (GI Science).
