The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems 2010 (ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2010) is the eighteenth event of a series of symposia and workshops that began in 1993 with the aim of bringing together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners carrying out research and development in novel systems based on geo-spatial data and knowledge, and fostering interdisciplinary discussions and research in all aspects of geographic information systems. The conference provides a forum for original research contributions covering all conceptual, design, and implementation aspects of GIS ranging from applications, user interface considerations, and visualization down to storage management and indexing issues. This year's conference builds on last year's conference great success and on being the premier annual conference of the newly formed ACM Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM SIGSPATIAL). ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS will have two invited speakers, 36 research papers, 37 poster papers, 4 industry papers, 5 Ph.D. showcases, and 12 demos.

28TH URBAN DATA MANAGEMENT SYMPOSIUM

September 28-30, 2011

DELFT, THE NETHERLANDS

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR PAPERS

 CfP UDMS 2011 (49.63 kB)

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: December 6, 2010 Abstract technical paper submission deadline December 13, 2010 Notification of acceptance: March 28, 2011 Final papers delivered by: May 30, 2011 UDMS 2011 in Delft September, 28-30, 2011

SUBMISSION:

Paper submission instructions can be found on the UDMS website, http://www.udms.net.

Participants will be expected to provide full papers and abstracts by the above referenced dates.

Following review the notification of acceptance will be accompanied by suggestions for revisions for the final paper.

The website submission portal will be available by the end of September 2010 Submitting a paper will be considered as pre-registration.

Authors will be required to register and commit to participation.

Papers will be written and presented in English.

Updated information concerning UDMS 2011 in Delft will be available at the UDMS web site, http://www.udms.net.

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
