The Programme Committee for the GIS Research UK (GISRUK) conference in
2010 would like to remind you that the closing date for abstracts for the
conference is Friday 27th November 2009.
This year the conference is being hosted at University College London (UCL),
from Wednesday 14 to Friday 16 April 2010. We look forward to welcoming you
to London for what we expect to be a very stimulating conference, covering
areas of core geographic information science research as well as
applications domains such as crime and health, and technological
developments in LBS and the geoweb.
We have a great set of keynote speakers for the conference this year:
- Prof. Michael Goodchild, Professor of Geography at the University of
California, Santa Barbara, and Director of [log in to unmask]
- Prof. Keith Clarke, Santa Barbara Director of the National Center for
Geographic Information and Analysis
- Prof. Danny Dorling, Professor of Human Geography in the University of
Sheffield.
- Steve Coast, founder of OpenStreetMap, Chairman of the OSM Foundation
and co-founder of CloudMade.
UCLıs research mission as a global university is based around a series of
Grand Challenges that affect us all, and these will be accommodated in
GISRUK 2010. We are also, of course, a university based in London and so
want to represent the challenges of a global city and the diversity of GI
research problems the city poses.
Our overarching theme this year will therefore be ³Global Challenges². As is
usual with GISRUK we welcome papers across the range of contemporary GIS
research but we will particularly welcome papers in the following themes:
* Crime and Place
* Environmental Change
* Migration and Identity
* Intelligent Transport
* Public Health and Epidemiology
* Simulation and Modelling
* London as a global city
* The geoweb and neo-geography
* Open GIS and Volunteered Geographic Information
More details of the call for papers, abstract format, and the submission URL
can all be found on the conference website:

The closing date for abstracts is Friday 27th November 2009.
Conference registration will towards the end of the year.
Regards,
Jeremy Morley
