Network of Young Researchers in GISc

The young researcher forum for Geographic Information Science aims to help participants of the GI-Days 2007 and other young researchers in field to stay in contact. The forums can be used to discuss current trends in GIScience, to get in contact with other researchers in the field, and to discuss problems and ideas regarding your ongoing (PhD) projects.

Workshop on Computational GeoInformatics'08

A International Workshop on Computational GeoInformatics - COMPGEO'08 is being organised in conjunction with 'The 2008 International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications (ICCSA 2008)'. The workshop will be held from June 30th to July 3rd, 2008 at University of Perugia, Perugia, Italy.

It aims at bringing together researchers and developers from different disciplines working with geospatial information. The workshop focuses on computational aspects of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), more specifically on the management and processing of 2D & 3D spatial data, including temporal aspects and uncertainty.

Topics of interest include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:

  • novel geospatial data processing and management mechanisms
  • spatiotemporal data modelling and reasoning
  • 3D modelling and GIS
  • modelling and analysis of terrains
  • modelling uncertainty in geospatial information
  • spatial and spatiotemporal statistics
  • geospatial and spatiotemporal data mining and outlier detection
  • use of computational geometry for GIS problems
  • automated mapping and map generalisation
  • use of intelligent and dense wireless sensor networks for GIS
  • fine-grained, terrestrial monitoring platforms
  • geo-visualisation and geo-visual analytics
  • visualisation of geospatial uncertainty
  • new applications of GIS such as crisis management, environmental monitoring, oceanography, 3D cadastre, traffic management, etc.

Call for Papers

The committee invites you to submit a paper of 10-16 pages (theme paper) formatted in LNCS Springer style. For templates of the paper please consult author instructions from the conference web page.

Proceedings

Papers accepted to CompGeo'08 will be published in the ICCSA Conference proceedings, in Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
