The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic
Information Systems 2008 (ACM GIS 2008) is the sixteenth event of a
series of symposia and workshops that began in 1993 with the aim of
bringing together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners
carrying out research and development in novel systems based on
geo-spatial data and knowledge, and fostering interdisciplinary
discussions and research in all aspects of geographic information
systems. 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). Researchers, students, and practitioners are invited to
submit their contributions to this year's ACM GIS.
Invited Speakers (Tentative)
Jack Dangermond, President, ESRI
Vinton Cerf, VP, Google and 2004 ACM Turing Award Winner

Paper Format and Submission
Authors are invited to submit full, original, unpublished research
papers that are not being considered for publication in any other
forum. Manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format and formatted
using the ACM camera-ready templates available at:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html
Papers cannot
exceed 10 pages in length. In addition to the regular full-length
papers, the Program Committee may accept some as poster papers which
may be requested to be shortened. All submitted papers will be refereed
for quality, originality, and relevance by the Program Committee.
Submissions will be made electronically and online only at:
http://acmgis08.cs.umn.edu
Ph.D. Dissertation Showcase
Ph.D. students are encouraged to submit their Ph.D. research
contributions and work-in-progress. Submissions cannot exceed 6 pages
-- Add (Ph.D. Showcase) to the title. Student authors of the accepted
papers will be given an opportunity to present a summary of their
research at the conference. Successful Ph.D. showcase papers will
appear in the ACM SIGSPATIAL Newsletter.
Demonstrations
Authors are invited to submit Demo papers that describe their original
demonstrations to be presented during the conference. Demo paper
submissions cannot exceed 2 pages -- Add (Demo Paper) to the title.
They will appear in the Conference Proceedings.
