Call For Papers

2nd International Workshop on
Conceptual Modeling for Geographic Information Systems (CoMoGIS2005)
http://www.cs.ucd.ie/comogis05/

In Conjunction with ER2005, October 24-28, Klagenfurt, Austria


Purpose and Scope

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
the 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 user requirements.

The 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 invite submissions that address theoretical,
technical and practical issues of conceptual modeling 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 data modeling

Submission guidelines

Authors should submit original manuscripts via email to Dr. Michela
Bertolotto (michela.bertolotto [at] ucd.ie), as PDF files by June 20, 2005.
The ER2005 Workshop papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
LNCS series. Springer-Verlag publishes a full-text electronic version
of LNCS in parallel with the printed version, thus the electronic source
of accepted papers is required (Springer-Verlag strongly prefers the
LaTeX 2e format, but Word format is acceptable). See the Springer site:
http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,10735,5-164-2-72376-0,00.html
for author instructions. Please follow the author instructions carefully.
The page limit is 10 pages. We strongly suggest all authors to stick to
the page limit.
Please note that final papers which do not conform to these guidelines
will not be published.
