Papers are invited on all aspects of research within the broad field of
geo-spatial computation. This conference series brings together numerous
scientists from different areas of research, who are interested in using the
latest computational tools and techniques, or who have implemented similar
computation-based approaches under alternative scenarios. It represents a
conscious attempt to move the research agenda back to scientific modelling
and analysis, with or without being locked into GIS! The main aim of each
annual meeting is to enrich geo-scientists with a powerful toolbox of fresh
ideas and methods that will permit them to examine and resolve a large range
of complex, often non-deterministic, problems. It is a deliberate effort to
explore the middle ground between quantitative research and computer science
from an informed perspective. It seeks to demonstrate to practitioners the
use of innovative up-to-the-minute enabling technologies and at the same
time to provide computer scientists with a rich source of computational and
representational challenges.

Total cost including on-site accommodation in student halls, registration,
proceedings and meals will be 220 pounds sterling. Special rates will be
available for registered students.

Publication outlets will include conference proceedings and journal special
editions.
