Please circulate it to any colleagues who may be interested. Please forgive any cross-postings. All the best, Brian Brian G Lees Visiting Professor in Geography School of Physical, Environmental & Mathematical Sciences, The University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy, Editor-in-Chief, International Journal of Geographical Information Science PO Box 7916, Canberra ACT 2610 Australia [log in to unmask] phone: +61 2 626 88302 fax: +61 2 626 88786 mobile: +61 0438624444 1st Call for Papers 15th International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling Geospatial dynamics, geosimulation and exploratory visualization 22-24th August, 2012, in Bonn, Germany (1 week before the IGC in Cologne) The 15th SDH aims to bring together scholars and professionals from the international GIScience community to present the latest research achievements and to share experiences in Geospatial dynamics, geosimulation and exploratory visualization. The Symposium program will feature keynote speeches delivered by leading scholars, technical sessions with reports of the latest research outcomes, a student forum and pre-conference workshops. We expect it to become a major event in the international GIScience community in 2012. The International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling (SDH) is the premier biennial international research forum for Geospatial Information Science (GIScience). It commenced in 1984, in Zurich, Switzerland and has been held in Seattle, USA; Sydney, Australia; Zurich, Switzerland; Charleston, USA; Edinburgh, UK; Delft, The Netherlands; Vancouver, Canada; Beijing, China; Ottawa, Canada; Leicester, UK; Vienna, Austria; Montpellier, France; and Hong Kong, China. Paper selection is based on full paper double blind peer review. Accepted papers will be published in the symposium proceedings (most likely Advances in Spatial Data Handling, Springer - to be confirmed). Selected papers may be published in a special issue in the International Journal of Geographical Information Science. We solicit papers in the following themes: . Modeling and Analysis of Movement Data . Geosimulation . Spatiotemporal Data Structures and Algorithms . Spatiotemporal Modeling and Analysis . Modeling Spatial Dynamics . Spatial Process Models . Location-Based Services . User-Generated Content . Geospatial Data Integration . Spatio-temporal Information Acquisition . Geosensor networks . Multi-scalar Modeling and Analysis . Geographic Information Retrieval and Dissemination .
