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

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.
IMPORTANT DATES (Research, Ph.D, and Demo papers)
Abstract Submission: June 17, 2010
Full Paper Submission: June 24, 2010

WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2010 will also hold one day co-located workshops
on the day immediately preceding the first day of the conference.
Hence, ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2010 invites proposals for workshops to be
submitted in pdf format to the Workshop Chair, Markus Schneider
(mschneid at cise.ufl.edu), by May 15, 2010. The duration of a workshop
is one day. Workshops will take place on November 2, 2010, at the
location of the conference. The proceedings of the workshops are
expected to be published jointly with the conference proceedings and
will appear in the ACM Digital Library. For details on how to prepare
a workshop proposal and what the workshops entail, see
http://acmgis2010.cs.ucsb.edu/workshops, or read the 'Call for
Workshop Proposals' at the end of this 'Call for Papers and
Workshop Proposals'.

18th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference
on Advances in Geographic Information Systems
(ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2010)
Call for Workshop Proposals
---------------------------------------------
November 2, 2010

The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic
Information Systems (ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS) traditionally holds one day
co-located workshops on the day immediately preceding the first day
of the conference. ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2010 aims to continue this
practice and invites proposals for workshops to be submitted in pdf
format to the Workshop Chair, Markus Schneider
(mschneid at cise.ufl.edu), by May 15, 2010.
The duration of a workshop is one day. Workshops will take place on
November 2, 2010, at the location of the conference.
The proceedings of the workshops are expected to be published jointly
with the conference proceedings and will appear in the ACM Digital
Library.
Workshops will benefit from the registration process of ACM
SIGSPATIAL GIS 2010. All workshops will have a common continental
breakfast and common morning and afternoon coffee breaks. The
workshops focus on particular aspects of our field and are intended
to enhance the conference experience for those attending the ACM
SIGSPATIAL GIS conference. Thus, all workshop attendees must also
register for the main ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS conference. The ACM
SIGSPATIAL GIS conference sets the registration fees for the
workshops which are the same for each workshop and are set at a
minimum level to recover costs of room rental, refreshments, and AV.
No complimentary registration is provided to workshop organizers. If
workshop organizers wish to have invited speakers, any additional
financial support must come from funds that are raised by the
workshop organizers.
One author per accepted workshop contribution (paper, poster, demo)
is required to register for the workshop and the conference as well
as attend the workshop to present the accepted submission. Otherwise,
the accepted submission will appear neither in the published workshop
proceedings nor in the ACM Digital Library version of the workshop
proceedings.
Each workshop proposal must contain all pertinent information,
including the following:
* workshop title
* short description of the topic and the format of the workshop
* explanation of why the proposed workshop is a good match with
ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2010
* names and contact information of the workshop organizer(s)
* names of the members of the program committee (at least 50% must
be already known and confirmed at the time of the proposal)
* proposal for important dates (paper submission deadline,
notification deadline, etc.)
* expected number of participants
* in case of previous instances of the workshop, the historical
numbers of participants
* in case of previous instances of the workshop, the historical
submission and acceptance counts
The decision about acceptance/rejection of workshop proposals will be
made by the Workshop Chair in consultation with the SIGSPATIAL
Executive Committee and the General Chairs, taking into account venue
capacity as well as viability.
Evaluation criteria include overall quality and the fit with respect
to the expected ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2010 program. Note that proposals
are especially encouraged on emerging topics that are relevant to
spatial information systems and algorithms (including location-based
services and geographic information systems). Notification will be
given by June 15, 2010.
The organizers of successful workshops will be responsible for their
own review process. Publicity will be handled jointly with the
workshop organizers being responsible for the creation of a workshop
website. The local arrangements chairs may require that all workshops
adhere to a specific general timetable to facilitate catering.
Workshop organizers must inform the Workshop Chair of the numbers of
submissions and acceptances as soon as these numbers become
available. Workshops with fewer than 20 expected registrants may be
canceled at the discretion of the conference organizers.
