The 2009 Symposium is the 9^th in the series and intends to provide an up-to-date review of the advances and recent developments in Web and Wireless Geographical Information Systems (W²GIS). The continuing advances in the development of Wireless and Internet technologies generate ever increasing interest in the diffusion, usage, and processing of geo-referenced data of all types - geomedia. Spatially aware wireless and Internet devices also offer new ways of accessing and analyzing geo-spatial information in both real-world and virtual spaces. Consequently, new challenges and opportunities have been provided that expand the traditional GIS research scope into the realm of Intelligent Media including geomedia with context-aware behaviours for self-adaptive use and delivery. Our common aim is research-based innovation that increases the ease of creating, delivering and using geomedia across different platforms and application domains that continue to have a dramatic effect on society.
