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

  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
