GIScience 2010
Zurich, Switzerland will be the host city of the sixth GIScience, continuing a highly successful series of conferences that commenced in 2000, and which regularly attracts over 200 international researchers. GIScience 2010 aims to bring together scientists from academia, industry, and government to discuss the state-of-the-art in geographic information science, and explore emerging research directions.
The conference focuses on basic research findings across all sectors of the field, and pure application papers are discouraged. The conference has two refereed submission tracks: full papers and extended abstracts.
A draft GIScience 2010 programme is now available here. In addition to the refereed full paper and extended abstract tracks the conference will feature two keynote lectures, a Panel Discussion on OGC, interoperability and research and closing remarks reflecting on the conference and progress in GIScience from Professor David Mark.
GIScience 2010 is delighted to have received support from a wide range of sponsors.
Conference registration is now open.
22 papers have been accepted for full paper presentation at GIScience.
98 Extended Abstracts have been accepted for presentation as short papers or posters at GIScience.
Pre-conference workshops and tutorials (Sep. 14th), the main conference (Sep. 15-17th) and a doctoral colloquium (Sep. 18th) will take place at the University of Zurich-Irchel campus, featuring state-of- the-art conference facilities within a park-like setting. The conference site is located only 20 minutes from both downtown and Zurich Airport, and is easily accessible through public transport.
