Call for Papers W2GIS 2009

9th International Symposium on Web & Wireless Geographical Information Systems

National Centre for Geocomputation Springer

7-8th December 2009, National Center for Geocomputation (NCG), NUI Maynooth Ireland


Topics

The continuing advances in the development of Wireless and Internet technologies generate ever increasing interest in the diffusion, usage, and processing of geo-referenced data of all types - geomedia. Spatially aware wireless and Internet devices also offer new ways of accessing and analyzing geo-spatial information in both real-world and virtual spaces. Consequently, new challenges and opportunities have been provided that expands the traditional GIS research scope into the realm of Intelligent Media . including geomedia with context-aware behaviours for self-adaptive use and delivery. Our common aim is research-based innovation that increases the ease of creating, delivering and using geomedia across different platforms and application domains that continue to have dramatic effect on society. The 2009 Symposium, hosted by the National Centre for Geocomputation in NUI Maynooth (Ireland), is intended to provide an up-to-date review of advances in recent development of Web and Wireless Geographical Information Systems (W2GIS). It is the 9th in a series of successful events beginning with Kyoto 2001, and alternating locations between East Asia and Europe, with the most recent event held in Shanghai, China. We invite submissions that address theoretical, technical, and practical issues of W2GIS and Intelligent GeoMedia. Reports on ongoing implementations and applications research are particularly welcome. Suggested topics should address research & development issues related to W2GIS and/or Intelligent GeoMedia applications: Accepted papers will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. A best paper award will be invited for extended Journal publication in Transactions in GIS. Each paper must be written in English, should be limited to 6000 words, and submitted in a PDF file. Each paper must include a short abstract and a list of keywords indicating subject classification. The full names and addresses of the authors should be printed only on the title page. The author who is the contact person should be identified as such. Acceptance of a paper means an obligation for at least one of the authors to present the paper at the conference venue. Authors can refer to www.stratag.ie/w2gis2009 for detailed formatting instructions, submission information and to contact symposium chairs.
