The Preliminary Call for Paper The 8th ACM Symposium on Advances in Geographic Information Systems Washington DC November 10-11, 2000 http://acmgis.cs.pusan.ac.kr/html/acmgis2000/index.html http://www.cs.umn.edu/~siva/acmgis2000/index.html Scope The 8th International Symposium of ACM GIS will take place in Washington D.C. during the first week of November 2000. This symposium will bring together researchers, users, and developers, carrying out research and development in novel systems based on geo-spatial data and knowledge. The symposium of ACM GIS will happen within the framework of the 8th International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM). The symposium will provide a forum for original research contributions and practical system design, implementation, and applications of GIS. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: Animated cartography Digital libraries for GIS Geographic data interchange standards GIS and the internet Interactive mapping Interoperability & heterogeneous GIS Multi-database spatial data structures Multi-source fusion Quality control and re-engineering Spatial aspects of mobile computing Spatial data warehousing and indexing Spatial indexing and query processing Spatio-temporal databases CASE tools for GIS Embarked GIS GIS as components in large systems GIS metadata Interface design & visualization Management of parallel and distributed GIS Multimedia GIS Open GIS Real time GIS, especially based on GPS Spatial data mining Spatial decision support systems and CSCW Spatial knowledge discovery Virtual reality and 3D GIS Paper Submission The ACM GIS Symposium is geared towards novel research and application results. Therefore, papers must describe original work, and must not be under consideration or published elsewhere. All submitted papers will be refereed for quality, originality and relevance by the Program Committee. All questions should be addressed to PC co-chairs. The best papers of the conference will be considered for a special issue of GEOINFORMATICA. Abstract submission Authors must submit an abstract of the paper (in ascii) by email, to one of the program co-chair by May 5th, 2000. This will ensure that your paper is processed correctly. The easiest way to do this is to use the abstract submission form. Your abstract must be preceded by paper identification containing paper title, contact author and data, which will allow proper administration of the paper. Paper electronic submission An electronic version (PDF format) should be submitted by May 10th 2000 to one of the program co-chairs. This version should be prepared using Adobe Acrobat Reader. Papers must be prepared in such a way that ensures they will print anywhere. Thus, you should avoid using special fonts. Please do not include color figures. Industrial Session The symposium program will include a number of papers devoted industrial developments, applications, and experience in using GIS. Papers intended for this program should be clearly marked as industrial session papers at the time of submission. Paper format Submissions should include the title, author(s), author's affiliation, e-mail address, tel/fax numbers and postal address on the first page. In case of multiple authors, please indicate which author is responsible for correspondence and preparing the camera ready paper for the proceedings. Papers for research sessions and industrial sessions should not exceed 6000 words and 2000 words respectively. And please indicate whether the paper is for industrial or research sessions on the first page. Important Dates Abstract Submission : 8 May 1999 (e-mail in ascii) Paper Submission : 15 May 1999 (PDF format and only black and white ) Notification of Acceptance : 15 July 1999 Camera Ready Copies : 15 August 1999 (In hardcopy and PDF) Notifications to Authors and Camera Ready Copy Notification to Authors and Camera Ready Copy The contact author will be notified of the outcome of the refereeing process by July 15 2000. This notification will use the data provided in the abstract submission form. The final format will be defined by ACM, and should be very similar to that of other ACM conferences. Authors wishing to prepare papers in that format can use the instructions at ACM. The specific format for ACM GIS 2000 will be made available at acceptance time. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for ACMGIS 2000. Otherwise the paper will not be included in the conference proceedings. The camera ready copy should be sent by August 15, 2000. Details on the final submission will be provided in the acceptance notification message. Accepted papers should be sent both electronically and on paper to the program committee chair. Program Committee Program Committee Co-Chairs Ki-Joune Li, Pusan National Univ.
