ACM GIS 09 CFP (Early Registration Deadline Oct. 12, 2009)

Dear all, We would like to bring to your attention the upcoming 17th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems (ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2009) that will be held in Seattle, WA, on November 4-6, 2009. This year's conference builds on the great success of last year's conference where almost 200 people attended, the first one under the auspices of the newly established ACM Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM SIGSPATIAL http://www.sigspatial.org/). The invited speakers include: - Pat Hanrahan, Stanford University, and - Gur Kimchi, Microsoft Virtual Earth. This year we will also feature a Ph.D. showcase track and two demo tracks. The technical program is included below. Complete information about the conference can be found at http://acmgis09.cs.umn.edu/. Note that four pre-conference workshops affiliated with the conference will take place on November 3, 2009. We hope that you will be able to attend and we look forward to your participation.

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, 38 research papers, 40 poster papers, 1 industry paper, 3 Ph.D. showcases, and 11 demos.
