Call for Papers
-------------------------------------------------------------------




AIM AND SCOPE:

Real-time stream data acquisition through sensors and imagery devices has

been widely used in many applications. In addition to the temporal nature

of stream data, various sources provide stream data that has geographical

locations and/or spatial extents such as point coordinates, lines, or

polygons. Thanks to advances in geosensing technologies, researchers in

the geospatial community have been able to acquire huge amounts of

streamed sensor data. On one hand, this amount of streamed data has been a

major propeller to advance the state of the art in geographic information

systems. On the other hand, the ability to process, mine, and analyze that

massive amount of data in a timely manner prevented researchers from

making full use of the incoming stream data. The geostreaming term refers

to the ongoing effort in academia and industry to process, mine and

analyze stream data with geographic and spatial information.

This workshop addresses the research communities in both stream processing

and geographic information systems. It brings together experts in the

field from academia, industry and research labs to discuss the lessons

they have learned over the years, to demonstrate what they have achieved

so far, and to plan for the future of geostreaming. We encourage

researchers from academia and industry to submit papers that highlight the

value of stream query processing on topics that include, but are not

limited to the following topics:

* Spatio-temporal stream systems
* Stream query processing on spatial data types
* Real time mining of spatial and spatio-temporal data
* Location-aware stream systems
* Privacy preserving in mobile object databases
* Traffic monitoring and prediction
* Geosensing technologies and their application
* Geosampling and probabilistic spatial stream query processing
* Real time geographical information extraction and retrieval
* Geosocial networks
* Main memory and/or real time indexing of moving objects
* Real time spatial data visualization
* The use of stream processing in traffic management, aerospace,

earthquake physics, geodynamics, weather forecasting, and scientific

applications


SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:

We welcome submissions of both technical papers and vision/position

papers. We have two categories of papers and presentations:

* Full research paper: up to 8 pages (25 min. talk)
* Short technical or vision paper: up to 4 pages (15 min. talk)
Each submission should start with the title and the abstract, the names

and contact information of authors. Papers must be electronically

submitted in PDF format at the following address:
https://cmt2.research.microsoft.com/IWGS2010/

One author per accepted workshop contribution is required to register for

the conference and workshop, to attend the workshop and to present the

accepted submission . Otherwise, the accepted submission will not appear

in the published workshop proceedings or in the ACM Digital Library

version of the workshop proceedings.

To ensure adherence to ACM's format requirements, please use one of the

templates available at:
