The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic

Information Systems 2010 (ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2010) is the eighteenth

event in 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

interfaces, and visualization to storage management and indexing

issues. This conference is the premier annual event of the ACM

Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM SIGSPATIAL).

Researchers, students, and practitioners are invited to submit their

contributions to ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2010.



The invited speakers include:



-  Prof. Maneesh Agrawala, University of California at Berkeley.

  Developer of Line Drive, a system for generating driving

  directions, and a a system for automatic generation of 3D-like

  tourist maps.  Winner of a 2009 MacArthur Genius Award.



-  Prof. Sebastian Thrun, Stanford University.

  Co-developer of Google Street View and led the development of

  Stanley, the robotic vehicle Winner of the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge.

  Member of the National Academy of Engineering.

Paper Format: 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unpublished research papers that are not being considered for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.



Submission length is limited to 10 pages. 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. Accepted papers will be considered for 'Best Paper

Award'.



Ph.D. Dissertation Showcase Paper Format: Ph.D. students are

encouraged to submit their Ph.D. research contributions and

work-in-progress. Submission length is limited to 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.



Industrial Paper Format: Authors are invited to submit industrial

experience papers that describe their original industrial

experiences, challenges, and applications to be presented during the

conference. Industrial paper submission length is limited to 10 pages

-- Add (Industrial Paper) to the title. The accepted industrial

experience papers will appear in the Conference Proceedings.



Demonstration Paper Format: Authors are invited to submit demo papers

that describe their original demonstrations to be presented during

the conference. Submission length is limited to 2 pages -- Add (Demo

Paper) to the title. The accepted demo papers will appear in the

Conference Proceedings.



Submission: Submissions should be uploaded through the submission

site at: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/GIS2010/Default.aspx. One

author per accepted paper, poster, Ph.D. Dissertation showcase,

industrial paper, or demo is required to register and attend the

conference and to present the accepted submission. Otherwise, the

accepted submission will not appear in the published conference

proceedings or in the ACM Digital Library version of the conference

proceedings. All questions should be addressed to the Program

Committee Chair.
