Subject: ACM GIS08 (Irvine, CA, Nov 5-7) Call for Participation


We would like to bring the upcoming 16th ACM SIGSPATIAL
International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information
Systems (ACM GIS 2008). It will be held in Irvine, CA, in
November 5-7, 2008.  This year's Conference builds on the great
success of last year's Symposium where more than 180 people
attended, and on being the premier annual conference of the newly
established ACM Special Interest Group on Spatial Information
(ACM SIGSPATIAL http://www.sigspatial.org/).  The invited
speakers include Jack Dangermond, Founder and President of ESRI,
and Vinton Cerf, VP of Google and 2004 ACM Turing Award Winner.
This year we will also have for the first time a Ph.D. showcase track
and a demo track. The information can be found at 
http://acmgis08.cs.umn.edu/ and the program is there as well. The
program is also repeated below. There is also a pre conference 
workshop on November 4, 2008 called SPRINGL2008 on Security 
and Privacy in GIS and LBS. We hope that you are able to come
and look forward to seeing you there.

The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic
Information Systems 2008 (ACM GIS 2008) is the sixteenth event of a
series of symposia and workshops that began in 1993 with the aim of
bringing together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners
carrying out research and development in novel systems based on
geo-spatial data and knowledge, and fostering interdisciplinary
discussions and research in all aspects of geographicinformation
systems. The conference provides a forum for original research
contributions covering all conceptual, design, and implementation
aspects of GIS ranging from applications, user interface considerations,
and visualization down to storage management and indexing issues.
This year's conference builds on last year's conference great success
and on being the premier annual conference of the newly formed ACM
Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM SIGSPATIAL). ACM
GIS will have two invited speakers, 38 full papers, 37 poster papers,
8 Ph.D. showcases, and 12 demos. (see below)

                                  NOV. 4, 2008
============================================================================
  8:15am-8:30am  Opening Remarks
 
  8:30am-10:30am Inaugural Session for the SPRINGL 2008 Workshop Series
 
      Key note presentation
      Understanding the Privacy- Efficiency Trade-off in Location-Based 
            Queries
                Gabriel Ghinita (Purdue University, USA)
                Abstract: Mobile devices with global positioning
capabilities 
                        (e.g., GPS) allow users to ask queries relative to
their 
                        present location. Since certain queries may be 
                        privacy-sensitive, it is important to protect the
identity 
                        of the users who send requests for Location-based
Services 
                        (LBS). Instead of reporting the exact user location
to the 
                        LBS provider, existing privacy-preserving techniques
either 
                        perturb or encrypt the location data.
                        Current LBS privacy solutions fall into several
categories, 
                        based on the type of location transformation they
employ, 
                        and the system architecture they rely on. In this
position 
                        paper, we introduce a taxonomy of LBS privacy
solutions, and 
                        discuss the privacy-efficiency trade-offs achieved
by 
                        various techniques. We also identify several open
problems, 
                        and propose some interesting directions for future
research.

      Key note presentation
      Understanding the Privacy- Efficiency Trade-off in Location-Based Queries
		  Gabriel Ghinita (Purdue University, USA)
      		  Abstract: Mobile devices with global positioning capabilities (e.g., GPS)
		  allow users to ask queries relative to their present location. Since certain
		  queries may be privacy-sensitive, it is important to protect the identity of 
		  the users who send requests for Location-based Services (LBS). Instead of 
		  reporting the exact user location to the LBS provider, existing privacy-preserving
		  techniques either perturb or encrypt the location data.
      		  Current LBS privacy solutions fall into several categories, based on the type 
		  of location transformation they employ, and the system architecture they rely 
		  on. In this position paper, we introduce a taxonomy of LBS privacy solutions, 
		  and discuss the privacy-efficiency trade-offs achieved by various techniques. 
		  We also identify several open problems, and propose some interesting directions
	          for future research.
