<div>(ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2010)</div><div><a href="http://acmgis2010.cs.ucsb.edu/">http://acmgis2010.cs.ucsb.edu/</a></div><div> </div><div>Call for Papers</div><div>-------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>AIM AND SCOPE:</div><div> </div><div>Real-time stream data acquisition through sensors and imagery devices has </div><div><br></div><div>been widely used in many applications. In addition to the temporal nature </div>
<div><br></div><div>of stream data, various sources provide stream data that has geographical </div><div><br></div><div>locations and/or spatial extents such as point coordinates, lines, or </div><div><br></div><div>polygons. Thanks to advances in geosensing technologies, researchers in </div>
<div><br></div><div>the geospatial community have been able to acquire huge amounts of </div><div><br></div><div>streamed sensor data. On one hand, this amount of streamed data has been a </div><div><br></div><div>major propeller to advance the state of the art in geographic information </div>
<div><br></div><div>systems. On the other hand, the ability to process, mine, and analyze that </div><div><br></div><div>massive amount of data in a timely manner prevented researchers from </div><div><br></div><div>making full use of the incoming stream data. The geostreaming term refers </div>
<div><br></div><div>to the ongoing effort in academia and industry to process, mine and </div><div><br></div><div>analyze stream data with geographic and spatial information.</div><div> </div><div>This workshop addresses the research communities in both stream processing </div>
<div><br></div><div>and geographic information systems. It brings together experts in the </div><div><br></div><div>field from academia, industry and research labs to discuss the lessons </div><div><br></div><div>they have learned over the years, to demonstrate what they have achieved </div>
<div><br></div><div>so far, and to plan for the future of geostreaming. We encourage </div><div><br></div><div>researchers from academia and industry to submit papers that highlight the </div><div><br></div><div>value of stream query processing on topics that include, but are not </div>
<div><br></div><div>limited to the following topics:</div><div> </div><div>* Spatio-temporal stream systems</div><div>* Stream query processing on spatial data types</div><div>* Real time mining of spatial and spatio-temporal data</div>
<div>* Location-aware stream systems</div><div>* Privacy preserving in mobile object databases</div><div>* Traffic monitoring and prediction</div><div>* Geosensing technologies and their application</div><div>* Geosampling and probabilistic spatial stream query processing</div>
<div>* Real time geographical information extraction and retrieval</div><div>* Geosocial networks</div><div>* Main memory and/or real time indexing of moving objects</div><div>* Real time spatial data visualization</div><div>
* The use of stream processing in traffic management, aerospace, </div><div><br></div><div>earthquake physics, geodynamics, weather forecasting, and scientific </div><div><br></div><div>applications</div><div> </div><div>
</div><div>SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:</div><div> </div><div>We welcome submissions of both technical papers and vision/position </div><div><br></div><div>papers. We have two categories of papers and presentations:</div><div>
</div><div>* Full research paper: up to 8 pages (25 min. talk)</div><div>* Short technical or vision paper: up to 4 pages (15 min. talk)</div><div>Each submission should start with the title and the abstract, the names </div>
<div><br></div><div>and contact information of authors. Papers must be electronically </div><div><br></div><div>submitted in PDF format at the following address:</div><div><a href="https://cmt2.research.microsoft.com/IWGS2010/">https://cmt2.research.microsoft.com/IWGS2010/</a></div>
<div> </div><div>One author per accepted workshop contribution is required to register for </div><div><br></div><div>the conference and workshop, to attend the workshop and to present the </div><div><br></div><div>accepted submission . Otherwise, the accepted submission will not appear </div>
<div><br></div><div>in the published workshop proceedings or in the ACM Digital Library </div><div><br></div><div>version of the workshop proceedings.</div><div> </div><div>To ensure adherence to ACM's format requirements, please use one of the </div>
