The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic
Information Systems 2010 (ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2010) is the eighteenth
event in 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
geographic information systems. The conference provides a forum for
original research contributions covering all conceptual, design, and
implementation aspects of GIS ranging from applications, user
interfaces, and visualization to storage management and indexing
issues. This conference is the premier annual event of the ACM
Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM SIGSPATIAL).
Researchers, students, and practitioners are invited to submit their
contributions to ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2010.

The invited speakers include:

-  Prof. Maneesh Agrawala, University of California at Berkeley.
  Developer of Line Drive, a system for generating driving
  directions, and a a system for automatic generation of 3D-like
  tourist maps.  Winner of a 2009 MacArthur Genius Award.

-  Prof. Sebastian Thrun, Stanford University.
  Co-developer of Google Street View and led the development of
  Stanley, the robotic vehicle Winner of the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge.
  Member of the National Academy of Engineering.

Paper Format: Authors are invited to submit full, original,
unpublished research papers that are not being considered for
publication in any other forum. Manuscripts should be submitted in
PDF format and formatted using the ACM camera-ready templates
available at

http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.

Submission length is limited to 10 pages. In addition to the regular
full-length papers, the Program Committee may accept some as poster
papers which may be requested to be shortened. All submitted papers
will be refereed for quality, originality, and relevance by the
Program Committee. Accepted papers will be considered for 'Best Paper
Award'.

Ph.D. Dissertation Showcase Paper Format: Ph.D. students are
encouraged to submit their Ph.D. research contributions and
work-in-progress. Submission length is limited to 6 pages -- Add
(Ph.D. Showcase) to the title. Student authors of the accepted papers
will be given an opportunity to present a summary of their research
at the conference. Successful Ph.D. showcase papers will appear in
the ACM SIGSPATIAL Newsletter.

Industrial Paper Format: Authors are invited to submit industrial
experience papers that describe their original industrial
experiences, challenges, and applications to be presented during the
conference. Industrial paper submission length is limited to 10 pages
-- Add (Industrial Paper) to the title. The accepted industrial
experience papers will appear in the Conference Proceedings.

Demonstration Paper Format: Authors are invited to submit demo papers
that describe their original demonstrations to be presented during
the conference. Submission length is limited to 2 pages -- Add (Demo
Paper) to the title. The accepted demo papers will appear in the
Conference Proceedings.

Submission: Submissions should be uploaded through the submission
site at: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/GIS2010/Default.aspx. One
author per accepted paper, poster, Ph.D. Dissertation showcase,
industrial paper, or demo is required to register and attend the
conference and to present the accepted submission. Otherwise, the
accepted submission will not appear in the published conference
proceedings or in the ACM Digital Library version of the conference
proceedings. All questions should be addressed to the Program
Committee Chair.
