The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic
Information Systems 2011 (ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2011) is the nineteenth
event in a series of symposia and workshops that began in 1993 with
the aim of bringing together researchers, developers, users, and
practitioners in relation to 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
data storage and query processing and indexing. The 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 2011.

*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Authors are invited to submit full, original, unpublished research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.

Submissions are limited to 10 pages. In addition to the regular
full-length papers, the Program Committee may accept some as poster
or demo papers which will be requested to be shortened. All submissions
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 Papers*

Ph.D. students are encouraged to submit their Ph.D. research contributions
 and work-in-progress. Submissions are limited to 6 pages---append "(Ph.D.
Showcase)"
to the title. Student authors of 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 Papers*

Industrial and experience papers are invited that describe original
industrial experiences, challenges, and applications to be presented
during the conference. Industrial paper submissions are limited to
10 pages---append "(Industrial Paper)" to the title. Accepted industrial
experience papers will appear in the conference proceedings.


*Demonstration Papers*

Authors are invited to submit demo papers describing original
demonstrations
to be presented at the conference. Submissions are limited to
2 pages---append "(Demo Paper)" to the title. Accepted demo papers will
appear in the conference proceedings.


*Submission*

Submissions should be uploaded through the submission site at:

https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/SIGSPATIAL2011.

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 PC Chairs.
