2nd Call for Papers: UDMS 2011, 28-30 Sept. 2011, Delft, The Netherlands
UDMS 2011
28TH URBAN DATA MANAGEMENT SYMPOSIUM
September 28-30, 2011
DELFT, THE NETHERLANDS
SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR PAPERS
The Urban Data Management Society has organised international symposia at various locations throughout Europe since 1971, and UDMS 2011 will mark its 40th anniversary.
For this anniversary the Board of UDMS has decided to hold the conference in Delft, The Netherlands, a city and a country we have called home for many years. For this symposium the Board has decided to call attention to the 40 years of UDMS, certain that this is an experience not to be found elsewhere and a valuable basis on which to form planning for the future. Consequently the general theme chosen of UDMS 2011 is UDMS at 40 years: making contributions to the future
As in the UDMS tradition we will provide a forum in which representatives from local authorities, universities, research centers and professionals can join together to discuss new approaches, to consider new technologies, and to share practical experiences in the field of urban and regional data management.
UDMS 2011 will include dynamic Discussion Working Sessions in which academics, representatives from local authorities and professionals will discuss relevant topics and problems for which solutions are required. The results of the discussion will be presented by a rapporteur in a final session. These sessions will facilitate the effective creation of collaboration and synergies between participants in addition to the conventional Sientific and Technical Sessions. Representatives from local authorities in Europe will be invited to participate to the conference and take part to the Discussion Working Sessions. The organising committee invites you to submit a paper for presentation and to take part in this important event.
Three types of submissions will be considered:
- Scientific papers up to 6000 words, for full paper peer review by three reviewers.
- Technical papers up to 3000 words presenting new solutions, review of potential new technologies and project results, for abstract review
- Technical papers, especially from local authorities and professionals, presenting the description of experiences,
solutions or problems requiring solutions, for abstract review
All accepted papers will be orally presented at the conference.
Scientific papers and a selection of Technical papers will be printed in the UDMS proceedings that will be published by Taylor & Francis as a hardbound book.
The three best of papers in each category will receive an award of recognition.
The International Programme Committee would like to receive proposals addressing the following symposium areas and topics:
UDM Technical Issues:
- 3D for municipalities and citizens: reconstruction, processing, analysis & visualisation
- Systems and sensors for monitoring urban and regional environments
- Semantic web for urban applications
UDM Practitioner issues:
- Cooperation among local authorities in urban data management
- Lessons learned from 40 years of experience and their future application
- Impacts & implications of social networks/twitter Google Earth and other internet
services to government IT/data production/distribution/use
- Uses and applications of UDM among local and national governments
Other topics can be addressed provided that the relation with the overall theme is demonstrated.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Full scientific paper submission deadline: January 10, 2010
Abstract technical paper submission deadline January 17, 2010
Notification of acceptance: April 15, 2011
Final papers delivered by: June 6, 2011

GEOG-AN-MOD 11 (ICCSA) Submission deadline is approaching: 12 days left
Sixth International Workshop on "Geographical Analysis,
Urban Modeling, Spatial Statistics"
GEOG-AN-MOD 11
http://www.unibas.it/utenti/murgante/geog_an_mod_11/index.html
in conjunction with
The 2011 International Conference on Computational
Science and its Applications (ICCSA 2011)
June 20th - June 23th, 2011
University of Cantabria, Santander, Spain.
http://www.iccsa.org/
During the past decades the main problem in geographical analysis was the lack of spatial data availability. Nowadays the wide diffusion of electronic devices containing geo-referenced information generates a great production of spatial data. Volunteered geographic information activities (e.g. Wikimapia, OpenStreetMap), public initiatives (e.g. Spatial Data Infrastructures, Geo-portals) and private projects (e.g. Google Earth, Microsoft Virtual Earth, etc.) produced an overabundance of spatial data, which, in many cases, does not help the efficiency of decision processes. The increase of geographical data availability has not been fully coupled by an increase of knowledge to support spatial decisions. The inclusion of spatial simulation techniques in recent GIS software favoured the diffusion of these methods, but in several cases led to the mechanism based on which buttons have to pressed without having geography or processes in mind. Spatial modelling , analytical techniques and geographical analyses are therefore required in order to analyse data and to facilitate the decision process at all levels, with a clear identification of the geographical information needed and reference scale to adopt. Old geographical issues can find an answer thanks to new methods and instruments, while new issues are developing, challenging the researchers for new solutions. This workshop aims at contributing to the development of new techniques and methods to improve the process of knowledge acquisition.
The programme committee especially requests high quality submissions on the following Conference Themes :
Geostatistics and spatial simulation;
Agent-based spatial modelling;
Cellular automata spatial modelling;
Spatial statistical models;
Space-temporal modelling;
Space-temporal modelling;
Environmental Modelling;

Each paper will be independently reviewed by 3 programme committee members. Their individual scores will be evaluated by a small sub-committee and result in one of the following final decisions: accepted, or accepted on the condition that suggestions for improvement will be incorporated, or rejected. Notification of this decision will take place on March 2011.
Individuals and groups should submit complete papers (10 to 16 pages).
Accepted contributions will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volumes.
Please adhere strictly to the formatting provided in the template to prepare your paper and refrain from modifying it.

(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0).
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.
Submission
papers should be submitted at: http://ess.iccsa.org/ please don't forget to select " Geographical Analysis, Urban Modeling, Spatial Statistics GEOG-AN-MOD 11" workshop from the drop-down list of all workshops.
