Call For Presentations - The 2nd ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Geospatial Data Access and Processing APIs (SpatialAPI 2020)

We are pleased to announce the 2nd ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Geospatial Data Access and Processing APIs (SpatialAPI 2020). The goal of this workshop is to provide students and researchers with hands-on experience with useful APIs such as web APIs or library APIs related to spatial data processing. At the same time, it gives an opportunity for API providers to reach out to a targeted audience that can use their APIs. This will be an excellent opportunity for participants to discover available APIs and for providers to receive direct feedback from their users.

The workshop is calling for tutorial proposals from the community. Accepted tutorials will have two 45-minute sessions to conduct their hands-on tutorial. In addition, each presenter will have the opportunity to give a teaser presentation of 5 minutes to attract the audience to attend their tutorial. Interested participants should submit a tutorial proposal that contains the following:
* Title of the system or API that will be presented.
* Web URL with information about the current API, e.g., project home page.
* Short description of what the API covers.
* Detailed description of which functionality or parts of the APIs that the proposed tutorial will cover.
* Tentative 90-minute tutorial plan.
* List of any additional material or prerequisites that you expect the tutorial attendees to have. You can assume that all attendees will have at least a laptop with Internet access and power plug. Any additional requirements such as software, OS, libraries, or datasets, should be listed.

This year, to accommodate remote participation, we ask every accepted tutorial to include a GitHub (or similar) repository that contains self-explanatory instructions on how to follow the tutorial. This includes any prerequisite materials and downloads, source code, test datasets, and sample output of all steps that will run. This will facilitate a smooth tutorial to the speaker and the audience.

Our target audience mainly includes undergraduate and graduate students from different disciplines, and also some professors, and professionals from industry. Please make sure that your tutorial will address the audience with the right level of breadth and depth.

Proposals can be submitted to the following submission page.
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spatialapi20 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spatialapi20>

The proposals will be reviewed by the workshop chairs and advisory committee.
