Call For Papers

1st Workshop on Conceptual Modeling for Geographic Information 
Systems (CoMoGIS2004)
In Conjunction with ER2004, November 8-12, 2004, Shanghai, China

Purposes and Scopes

The recent advances in remote sensing and GPS technologies have increased
the production and collection of geo-referenced data, thus requiring the rapid
development and the wide deployment of various geographic information
systems. With the popularity of World Wide Web and the diversity of GISs
on the Internet, geographic information can now be available via personal
devices anytime and anywhere. Nowadays GIS is emerging as a common
information infrastructure, which penetrates into more and more aspects of
our society, and converges with most areas in the IT scenario, such as office
automation, workflow, digital libraries, Web searching, virtual reality, etc.
This has given rise to new challenges related to the development of conceptual
models for GIS. Recently several new approaches have been applied in the
development of geo-spatial systems to accommodate new users requirements.

The proposed workshop on Conceptual modeling for GIS is intended to bring
together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners carrying 
out research
 and development in geographic information systems and conceptual modeling,
  and fostering interdisciplinary discussions in all aspects of these 
two fields.
  The workshop will provide a forum for original research contributions and
  practical experiences of conceptual modeling for GIS and will 
highlight future
  trends in this area.

Therefore we will invite submissions that address theoretical, technical and
practical issues of conceptual modelling for GIS.  Suggested topics include,
but are not limited to (as long as they are related to conceptual 
modelling in GIS):

*	Spatial data modeling
*	Conceptual and logical models for GIS
*	GIS services modeling
*	Ontologies for GIS applications
*	Schema mapping and evolution
*	Spatial data query and retrieval
*	Geographical search engines
*	Spatial information grid
*	Digital geographical libraries
*	Query languages and interfaces
*	Spatial information integration
*	Spatial information visualisation
*	Spatial data mining and data warehousing
*	Location-based services
*	Peer-to-peer computing for GIS
*	Semantic issues in GIS
*	Interoperability and standards
*	Metadata management
*	GIS Middleware architectures
*	Query processing and optimization
*	Spatio-temporal modeling


Submission guidelines

Authors should submit original manuscripts via email to Dr. Jihong Guan
(jhguan [at] wtusm.edu.cn), as PostScript or PDF files by 1 June 2004.
Papers may not exceed 5000 words.  Use at least an 11-point font and
no more than 20 double-spaced pages. Accepted papers will be included
in the Proceedings of ER2004 Workshops, which will be published by
Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series and distributed during the workshop.
Typically published papers are 12 pages in LNCS format
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
