The Programme Committee for the GIS Research UK (GISRUK) conference in
2010 are pleased to open the call for papers.
This year the conference is being hosted at University College London
(UCL), from Wednesday 14 to Friday 16 April 2010. We look forward to
welcoming you to London for what we expect to be a very stimulating
conference, covering areas of core geographic information science
research as well as applications domains such as crime and health and
technological developments in LBS and the geoweb.
UCL’s research mission as a global university is based around a series
of Grand Challenges that affect us all, and these will be accommodated
in GISRUK 2010. We are also, of course, a university based in London and
so want to represent the challenges of a global city and the diversity
of GI research problems the city poses.
Our overarching theme this year will therefore be “Global Challenges”.
As is usual with GISRUK we welcome papers across the range of
contemporary GIS research but we will particularly welcome papers in the
following themes:
* Crime and Place
* Environmental Change
* Migration and Identity
* Intelligent Transport
* Public Health and Epidemiology
* Simulation and Modelling
* London as a global city
* The geoweb and neo-geography
* Open GIS and Volunteered Geographic Information
More details of the call for papers, abstract format, and the submission
URL can all be found on the conference website:

The closing date for abstracts is Friday 27th November 2009.
We will shortly also be announcing our plenary speakers and details of
the social events at the conference. Conference registration will open
in the Autumn.
Regards,
Jeremy Morley
