PRELIMINARY PROGRAM
6th ACM SYMPOSIUM ON GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS
WASHINGTON, D.C., USA November 6-7, 1998
==========================================================
Scope of the symposium: This 6th symposium aims at bringing together
all people carrying out research in novel systems based on spatial data
and knowledge, within the framework of the 7th International Conference
on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM). The emphasis will be
essentially targeted to the development of generic principles and systems
in computing based on those applications. Cross-fertilizations and
synergies between several applications can help to develop new computing
knowledge.
Location: Holiday Inn Bethesda (renamed to "Crowne Plaza" soon),
8120 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland 20814 USA,
Phone: (301) 652-2000; Fax: (301) 652-3806
