3rd ICA Workshop on Geospatial Analysis and Modeling

Background and scope
Following the success of two previous workshops, we are proud to 
announce that the Third International Cartographic Association (ICA) 
Workshop on Geospatial Analysis and Modeling will be held on August 6-7, 
2009 in Gävle, Sweden. Founded upon the tradition of the workshop 
series, we aim at bringing together researchers from relevant fields to 
address issues related to geospatial analysis and modeling.
We call for papers that (1) develop visual and analytical tools for 
geospatial analysis and modeling, and (2) extract geospatial knowledge 
by applying these tools to huge arrays of geospatial data that become 
recently available. The tools and the knowledge constitute two major 
concerns in our pursuit for better spatial planning and decision making. 
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

Cellular automata and agent based modeling
Visual analytical tools for environmental and urban systems
Analysis of human movement data
Spatio-temporal data mining
Hierarchies, scaling and fractal structure of geographic patterns
Modeling vehicle dynamics and crowd behavior
Patterns of human spatial behavior and migration
Urban high-resolution morphology
Small world modeling and spatial interactions

Paper format and submission
All manuscripts entailing 5000-6000 words should be in English, single 
column, single-spaced with figures and tables within the text. The 
manuscripts in MS Word 2003 format should contain authors’ affiliation 
and email, abstract (no longer than 300 words), and up to five keywords. 
To submit, please use EasyChair at 
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=3rdicaworkshop

Schedule
Deadline for receiving papers: April 25, 2009
Acceptance notification: May 25, 2009
Workshop: August 6-7, 2009

Publications
Proceedings will be organized before the workshop. The papers selected 
after their presentations at the workshop will follow a peer-review 
process for publication as a theme issue of the Computers, Environment 
and Urban Systems journal.
