CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
ACMGIS '96 International Workshop
Date: November 15-16, 1996
Venue:
Double Tree Hotel,
Rockville, MD,
USA
In recent years computer processing of Earth observations through
geographic information systems has attracted a great deal of
attention from the industrial and research world. The Fourth ACM
International Workshop on Advances in Geographic Information Systems
will provide an effective forum for disseminating original and
fundamental research and experience in the rapidly advancing area of
the use of computer science for spatial studies.
ACM-GIS'96 will bring together leading researchers and developers
and will strive toward setting future research directions in this
area. The primary focus of the workshop is on new and original
research results in the areas of theorical foundations, design,
implementation and applications of GIS as well as experience reports
from application specialists. The goal is to exchange research ideas
and results among participants.
Registration forms etc. can be obtained from
CIKM website.
If you have any questions about the workshop, contact
siva@cs.umn.edu.
