Hi All
For those who may be interested in attending, there will be a
conference in Irvine CA, US on advances in GIS. Please see below for
full details.
Regards
Tim
We would like to bring the upcoming 16th ACM SIGSPATIAL
International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information
Systems (ACM GIS 2008). It will be held in Irvine, CA, in
November 5-7, 2008. This year's Conference builds on the great
success of last year's Symposium where more than 180 people
attended, and on being the premier annual conference of the newly
established ACM Special Interest Group on Spatial Information
(ACM SIGSPATIAL http://www.sigspatial.org/). The invited
speakers include Jack Dangermond, Founder and President of ESRI,
and Vinton Cerf, VP of Google and 2004 ACM Turing Award Winner.
This year we will also have for the first time a Ph.D. showcase track
and a demo track. The information can be found at
http://acmgis08.cs.umn.edu/ and the program is there as well. The
program is also repeated below. There is also a pre conference
workshop on November 4, 2008 called SPRINGL2008 on Security
and Privacy in GIS and LBS. We hope that you are able to come
and look forward to seeing you there.

The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic
Information Systems 2008 (ACM GIS 2008) is the sixteenth event of 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 geographicinformation
systems. The conference provides a forum for original research
contributions covering all conceptual, design, and implementation
aspects of GIS ranging from applications, user interface considerations,
and visualization down to storage management and indexing issues.
This year's conference builds on last year's conference great success
and on being the premier annual conference of the newly formed ACM
Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM SIGSPATIAL). ACM
GIS will have two invited speakers, 38 full papers, 37 poster papers,
8 Ph.D. showcases, and 12 demos. (see below)

Understanding the Privacy- Efficiency Trade-off in Location-Based
Queries
Gabriel Ghinita (Purdue University, USA)
Abstract: Mobile devices with global positioning capabilities
(e.g., GPS) allow users to ask queries relative to their
present location. Since certain queries may be
privacy-sensitive, it is important to protect
the identity
of the users who send requests for
Location-based Services
(LBS). Instead of reporting the exact user
location to the
LBS provider, existing privacy-preserving
techniques either
perturb or encrypt the location data.
Current LBS privacy solutions fall into
several categories,
based on the type of location transformation
they employ,
and the system architecture they rely on. In
this position
paper, we introduce a taxonomy of LBS privacy
solutions, and
discuss the privacy-efficiency trade-offs achieved by
various techniques. We also identify several
open problems,
and propose some interesting directions for
future research.
