------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Indoor Spatial Awareness
(ISA 2010)
In conjunction with ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2010
November 2, 2010, San Jose, CA, USA
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Invited Speakers

* Benjamin Kuipers, University of Michigan, USA (keynote)
* Lars Kulik, The University of Melbourne, Australia


Workshop aim

With the rapid progress of location based services, geographic information
systems, and ubiquitous computing technologies,

the space that we are dealing with is no longer limited to outdoor space but
being extended to indoor space. Indoor space

has some differences from outdoor space, most notably by its relevant third
dimension, but also by its privately regulated

accessibility. Therefore to provide integrated seamless services across
spaces it is required to establish new theories,

data models, and systems. For this reason, research has begun to extend the
scope of LBS and GIS to indoor space for the

applications such as indoor orientation and navigation services, emergency
management, indoor space management and 3D

cadastre. This workshop is intended to bring together researchers,
developers, and practitioners carrying out research and

development related to the topic of indoor spatial awareness and to provide
a forum for interdisciplinary discussions in

all aspects of indoor spatial awareness.

Proceedings

The papers of this workshop were carefully peer-reviewed by three members of
the program committee. Seven out of ten

submitted papers were selected for presentation after revisions made to
respond to the reviews. In addition, an invited

talk by Lars Kulik and a keynote talk by Benjamin Kuipers are included in
the program and proceedings. The proceedings of

the workshops will be published jointly with the conference proceedings and
will appear in the ACM Digital Library.
