2012 Brisbane International Geospatial Forum - "Global Connections
through Mapping"

CALL FOR PAPERS
APPLICATIONS CLOSE – 1 MARCH 2012
We now invite submissions for papers in the 2012 Brisbane
International Geospatial Forum, ‘Global Connections through Mapping’.
The forum is jointly organised by:
the International Map Trade Association (IMTA),
the Mapping Sciences Institute, Australia (MSIA), and
the Australian and New Zealand Map Society (ANZMapS)
PRESENTATIONS & THEME
Technology has always formed a major part of Mapping and Geospatial
solutions. In its time, 400 years ago, the
story of Longitude and the H4 marine chronometer revolutionised
navigation, as GPS has today. The organising
committee would like to recognise technology and innovation, and is
seeking papers and presentations current
and historical, that will address this broad theme. Topics may address
any aspect of innovation, from spatial data standards and locations
based services, modelling, imagery, marketing, atlases, systems,
education and training, to cartographic heritage and history of mapping.
Presentations should be relevant to the Geospatial and Mapping theme
of the forum and are typically 25 minutes
in length with 5 minutes for question time. Further information on the
Forum is available at www.imtamaps.org
