<br>
We would like to bring to your attention the upcoming ACM SIGSPATIAL<br>
International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems<br>
that will be held in Chicago, on November 1-4, 2011. It is the<br>
nineteenth event in a series of symposia and workshops that began in<br>
1993 with the aim of bringing together researchers, developers, users,<br>
and practitioners in relation to novel systems based on geo-spatial<br>
data and knowledge, and fostering interdisciplinary discussions and<br>
research in all aspects of geographic information systems. The<br>
conference provides a forum for original research contributions<br>
covering all conceptual, design, and implementation aspects of GIS<br>
ranging from applications, user interfaces, and visualization to data<br>
storage and query processing and indexing. The conference is the premier<br>
annual event of the ACM Special Interest Group on Spatial Information<br>
(ACM SIGSPATIAL <a href="http://www.sigspatial.org/" target="_blank">http://www.sigspatial.org/</a>).<br>
<br>
The early registration deadline is 09/30/2011. Online registration is<br>
open at <a href="http://acmgis2011.cs.umn.edu/registration.html" target="_blank">http://acmgis2011.cs.umn.edu/registration.html</a>. Conference hotel<br>
reservation is available at<br>
