It is the 11th of a series of symposia/workshops that began in 1993 with the aim of bringing together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners carrying out research and development in novel systems based on geo-spatial data and knowledge, and fostering interdisciplinary discussions and research in all aspects of geographic information systems. The symposium will provide a forum for original research contributions and practical system design, implementation, and applications of GIS. ACM-GIS 2003 will be held in conjunction with the 12th International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (ACM-CIKM 2003). Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: =================================================================== Computational geometry Constraint databases Content-based image retrieval Geospatial data versioning GIS and the Internet Graphical aspects of GIS and spatial DBMS Interoperability and standards (including metadata and ontologies) Large-scale GIS servers and parallel GIS Location-based services Management of raster and vector data Mobile and distributed geographic information services Multidimensional access methods Multiple representations in spatial databases Novel and challenging applications Performance evaluation and benchmarking Real-time spatio-temporal GIS Similarity search Spatial and spatio-temporal data mining Spatial and spatio-temporal data modeling Spatial data quality Spatial query processing and optimization Spatial reasoning Visual query languages Virtual reality and 3D GIS XML and GIS Instructions for Authors Authors are invited to submit full papers or one-page descriptions of panel proposals. Papers reporting original and unpublished research results on the above and other related topics are solicited.
