We welcome theoretical, technical and empirical work. Topics within the special focus include, but are not limited to:

• Advanced visualization and cartography
• Visual analytics

Geospatial data acquisition, advanced spatial analysis and knowledge extraction, distributed and mobile services, SDI, global change & vulnerability, dynamic modeling and simulation, learning environments for secondary / postsecondary education, and research into learning outcomes, comprise by no means an exhaustive list of conference topics.
