<p class="MsoNormal">The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in
Geographic</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Information Systems 2010 (ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2010) is the
eighteenth</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">event in a series of symposia and workshops that began in
1993 with</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">the aim of bringing together researchers, developers, users,
and</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">practitioners carrying out research and development in novel
systems</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">based on geo-spatial data and knowledge, and fostering</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">interdisciplinary discussions and research in all aspects of</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">geographic information systems. The conference provides a
forum for</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">original research contributions covering all conceptual,
design, and</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">implementation aspects of GIS ranging from applications,
user</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">interfaces, and visualization to storage management and
indexing</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">issues. This conference is the premier annual event of the
ACM</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM
SIGSPATIAL).</p>
