ACM GIS 99 7th ACM International Symposium on Geographic Information Systems Preliminary Call for Papers November 5-6, 1999, Kansas City, USA http://www.dcc.unicamp.br/~cmbm/acmgis99 This symposium aims at bringing together people carrying out research in novel systems based on geo-spatial data and knowledge. ACM GIS'99 will happen, within the framework of the 8th International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM). Papers covering areas with cross-fertilizations among domains and synergies between several applications are encouraged. Among others, we are looking for papers dealing with: - Embarked GIS - Spatial aspects of mobile computing - Spatial Decision Support Systems and CSCW - CASE tools for geomatics - Real time GIS, especially based on GPS - Interactive mapping, visualization and interface design - Multidatabase spatial data structures and indexing - Animated cartography - Multi-source fusion - Quality control and re-engineering - Management of parallel and distributed GIS - Spatial knowledge discovery, knowledge engineering - Spatial data mining - GIS metadata - Multimedia GIS - Digital libraries for GIS - Virtual reality in GIS - Interoperability, heterogeneous GIS and geographic data interchange standards - GIS and the internet - Systems for spatial reasoning and negotiation - Spatial data warehousing and indexing - 3D GIS - Spatio-temporal databases Novel applications include (but are not restricted to): - Urban and environmental planning - Risk prevention - Earth observation - Marine cartography and oceanography - Transportation - Geomarketing - Geological information systems - Extraterrestrial mapping - Telegeomonitoring - Precision farming and agriculture applications - Archeology Chair: Claudia Bauzer Medeiros, Institute of Computing, UNICAMP, Brazil.
