Geoinformatics Forum Salzburg 2008 - First CfP

The Geoinformatics Forum Salzburg (GI_Forum) is scheduled for July 1-4, 2008, at Salzburg University, Austria.
GI_Forum focuses on an international audience that shares an interest in Applied Geoinformatics. This Call for Papers aims at researchers who design, develop and apply advanced methods and techniques of Geoinformatics to a broad range of application domains.
GI_Forum 2008 will also address these specific topics:
  • Energy for the Future” inspired by the United Nations “International Year of Planet Earth”.
  • Global Monitoring - Observing, Understanding and Visualizing Planet Earth.

    Geoinformatics Forum Salzburg 2008 - First Call for Papers
    http://www.gi-forum.org/

    The Geoinformatics Forum Salzburg (GI_Forum) is scheduled for July 1-4, 2008, at Salzburg University, Austria.
    The GI_Forum focuses on an international audience that shares an interest in Applied Geoinformatics. This Call for Papers aims at researchers who design, develop and apply advanced methods and techniques of Geoinformatics to a broad range of application domains.
    We solicit papers on emerging and established topics and research outcomes related to Geoinformatics methodology. The following is by no means an exhaustive list of symposium topics:
    *Geospatial data acquisition
    *Spatial analysis and knowledge extraction
    *Advanced visualisation and cartography
    *Distributed and mobile services
    *Dynamic modelling and simulation
    *Application fields comprise natural resources, health and environment, sustainable management of resources such as energy and water, transportation and infrastructure, participation and administration as well as security and emergency management.
    GI_Forum 2008 would also like to attract contributions pertaining to these specific topics:
    *“Energy for the Future” is inspired by the United Nations “International Year of Planet Earth”, and aims at a transdisciplinary audience of international scholars sharing a common interest in the strategic development of sustainable energy management for the future and advances in GIScience & Technology.
    *Global Monitoring - Observing, Understanding and Visualizing Planet Earth: Global initiatives such as Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) and the EU-ESA joint programme on Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) provide the open stage for creating and implementing a range of EO-based services. These build on cutting-edge technology in image understanding, sensor webbing, and spatio-temporal analysis striving to make these user-oriented services operational.
    *Learning with Geoinformation. We encourage contributions discussing various issues related to geoinformation in education. The bilingual conference on Learning with Geoinformation will host such contributions in respective sessions shared with GI_Forum and in cooperation with the Herodot network. These contributions will be published in separate proceedings.
    GI_Forum 2008 gives authors choices about the type of submission they want to make in order to accommodate a variety of interdisciplinary contributions. A submission must be written in English language according to the formatting guidelines published on the conference website.
    ---------------
    *Deadline for submission of full papers and extended abstracts for publication:
    February 1, 2008.
    *Late deadline for submission of extended abstracts for poster presentation:
    May, 18 2008.
    We will accept only online submissions starting from December 2007 at http://www.gi-forum.org/ .
    Accepted submissions will be published by Wichmann Verlag as a book.
    We are looking forward to your contribution!
