<div>Information Systems 2011 (ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2011) is the nineteenth </div>
<div>event in a series of symposia and workshops that began in 1993 with </div><div>the aim of bringing together researchers, developers, users, and </div><div>practitioners in relation to novel systems based on geo-spatial </div>
<div>data and knowledge, and fostering interdisciplinary discussions and </div><div>research in all aspects of geographic information systems. The </div><div>conference provides a forum for original research contributions </div>
<div>covering all conceptual, design, and implementation aspects of GIS </div><div>ranging from applications, user interfaces, and visualization to </div><div>data storage and query processing and indexing. The conference is </div>
<div>the premier annual event of the ACM Special Interest Group on Spatial </div><div>Information (ACM SIGSPATIAL). Researchers, students, and practitioners </div><div>are invited to submit their contributions to ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2011.</div>
