The goal of this workshop is to provide students and researchers with hands-on experience with useful APIs such as web APIs or library APIs related to spatial data processing. At the same time, it gives an opportunity for API providers to reach out to a targeted audience that can use their APIs. This will be an excellent opportunity for participants to discover available APIs and for providers to receive direct feedback from their users.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The workshop is calling for tutorial proposals from the community. Accepted tutorials will have two 45-minute sessions to conduct their hands-on tutorial. In addition, each presenter will have the opportunity to give a teaser presentation of 5 minutes to attract the audience to attend their tutorial. Interested participants should submit a tutorial proposal that contains the following:</div><div class="">* Title of the system or API that will be presented.</div><div class="">* Web URL with information about the current API, e.g., project home page.</div><div class="">* Short description of what the API covers.</div><div class="">* Detailed description of which functionality or parts of the APIs that the proposed tutorial will cover.</div><div class="">* Tentative 90-minute tutorial plan.</div><div class="">* List of any additional material or prerequisites that you expect the tutorial attendees to have. You can assume that all attendees will have at least a laptop with Internet access and power plug. Any additional requirements such as software, OS, libraries, or datasets, should be listed.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This year, to accommodate remote participation, we ask every accepted tutorial to include a GitHub (or similar) repository that contains self-explanatory instructions on how to follow the tutorial. This includes any prerequisite materials and downloads, source code, test datasets, and sample output of all steps that will run. This will facilitate a smooth tutorial to the speaker and the audience.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Our target audience mainly includes undergraduate and graduate students from different disciplines, and also some professors, and professionals from industry. Please make sure that your tutorial will address the audience with the right level of breadth and depth.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Proposals can be submitted to the following submission page.</div><div class=""><a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spatialapi20" class="">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spatialapi20</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The proposals will be reviewed by the workshop chairs and advisory committee.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">Important dates</b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Submission deadline: August, 31st, 2020</div><div class="">Notification deadline: September, 15th, 2020</div><div class="">Workshop day: November, 3rd, 2020</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">SpatialAPI Co-Chairs</b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Ahmed Eldawy (UCR)</div><div class="">Gobe Hobona (OGC)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">Program Committee</b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Peter Baumann - Jacobs University/Rasdaman</div><div class="">Joan Masó Pau - Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (CREAF)</div><div class="">Ibrahim Sabek - MIT</div><div class="">Satish Sankaran - Esri</div><div class="">Martin Werner - Technical University of Munich</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">
