International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling, 2004
23rd to 25th August 2004
University of Leicester, United Kingdom
First Announcement and Call for Papers
Call for Papers
Any researcher interested in presenting a paper at the 11th International
Symposium on Spatial Data Handling is invited to submit a full text paper.
Papers can be in any area of Geographical Information Science, which is
to say in the theoretical areas which address the working of and work with
Geographical Information Systems. Papers might be related to a large range
of topics, of which the following list gives a flavour, but is not
prescriptive,
including:
Uncertainty in spatial information: How it is conceptualised, Described,
Modelled, and Propagated.
User interfaces: Usability testing, Interface design, and Visual languages.
Scale issues of geographical information: Problems with scale, Exploiting
scale, Multiscale analysis and description.
Databases: Extending Geographical database structures, Data Models, Data
fusion, Data base description and ontology, Interoperability.
Dissemination of geographical data: Spatial Data Infrastructures, Web
Access,
Watermarking
Visualisation: New and traditional approaches to visualisation and mapping,
Generalisation, Symbolisation,
Terrain and surface modelling: Interpolation, Modelling, Analysing, and
Extracting Features
Spatial modelling: The use of spatial data in urban, regional, transport
and environmental modelling
Remote sensing: The conversion of RS data to information, Novel algorithms,
and Integration and Fusion of data.
Spatial cognition: Human understanding of space, Models of space,
Wayfinding,
Social issues of GIScience theory and GISystem use
Critical evaluations of the use of GISystems in applications
Social, Economic, Legal and Policy issues of Geodata and GISystems use
Papers relating to topics which are not mentioned in this list will be
especially welcome.
All papers will be subject to full review by the International Programme
Committee, and, if accepted, published in the conference proceedings.
Papers should be written in English (the official language of the
conference)
and prepared in accordance with the Instructions for Authors which can
be found with this call and other information
at(www.geog.le.ac.uk/sdh2004/).
Full papers should be emailed to [log in to unmask] on or before 3rd January
2003.

Midlands. Accommodation will be in a mixture of University Halls of
Residence
and Hotels.
The SDH Series
The International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling (SDH) is the premier
international research forum for Geographic Information Science. It
commenced
in 1984, in Zurich, Switzerland, organized by the International
Geographical
Union Commission on Geographical Data Sensing and Processing which was
later succeed by the Commission on Geographic Information Systems, Study
Group on Geographical Information Science and then the Commission on
Geographical
Information Science (http://www.hku.hk/cupem/igugisc/). The conference
is run biannually and has been held in the following locations:
1st - Zurich, 1984
2nd - Seattle, 1986
3rd - Sydney, 1988
4th - Zurich, 1990
5th - Charleston, 1992
6th - Edinburgh, 1994
7th - Delft, 1996
8th - Vancouver, 1998
9th - Beijing, 2000
10th - Ottawa, 2002 (jointly organized with ISPRS)
Since the first meeting, every other event has been held as a satellite
meeting to the International Geographical Congress which in 2004 will be
held in Glasgow, Scotland (www.rgs.org/ www.iguglasgow2004.org).
This is a refereed conference with the accepted papers published in the
conference proceedings. The Edinburgh and Delft proceedings had been
published
as post-conference publications by Taylor and Francis in the Advances
in GIS series and the Ottawa conference has been published by
Springer-Verlag
as Advances in Spatial Data Handling. Many important seminal papers and
novel ideas have been originated from this conference series.
