[GRASS-user] International Symposium on Terrain Analysis and Digital Terrain

[Carlos "Guâno" Grohmann]

International Symposium on Terrain Analysis and Digital Terrain
Modelling

Date: 23-25 November 2006

Nanjing, China

Call for Papers

Terrain analysis has been an active study field for some years and
attracted research effort from geographers, surveyors, engineers and
computer scientists. However, due to lack of communication across
various disciplines, the effort seems to be quite isolated and
mostly focused on problems within individual application fields.
With the rapid growth of Geographical Information System (GIS)
technology, particularly the establishment of high resolution
Digital Elevation Models (DEM) at national level, the challenge is
now focused on delivering justifiable socio-economical and
environmental benefits. For this we need to bring people in the
field of terrain analysis together and provide a platform for more
active and fruitful communication and exchange of ideas.

The International Symposium on Terrain Analysis and Digital Terrain
Modelling attempts to create a platform for better communications
and scholarly exchange among researchers in the fields of terrain
analysis, geomorphometry, environmental modelling and geographical
information sciences. It is the intention of the symposium organiser
to allow sufficient discussion and exchange of ideas during the
conference sessions, so that the conference will be run in the
single session format with sufficient time for each paper
presentation and follow-up discussion.

Conference Language: English

Themes

Terrain analysis parameters and algorithms
Feature extraction from DEM
Scales in digital terrain analysis
Terrain analysis and geo-statistics
Uncertainty of digital terrain analysis and DEM
Terrain visual enhancement and analysis
Digital terrain analysis based on very large spatial databases
DEM and geomorphometry
DEM and land cover modelling
DEM and hydrological modelling
DEM and soil-landscape modelling
DEM and terrain classification
Urban DEM
Call for Papers

You are cordially invited to submit extended abstract to the
symposium. The extended abstract should be written in English with
1000-1500 English words. The abstract will be reviewed by no less
than two referees. The author of accepted abstracts will be invited
to submit the full paper which will be presented in the symposium
and included in the conference proceedings. The symposium organiser
also intends to publish an edited book of selected papers, which
will be fully refereed after the symposium.

Important Dates

Abstract deadline:      23 July 2006

Acceptance of abstract:      3 September 2006

Full paper deadline:      5 November 2006
