The Geoinformatics conference series was initiated by the International Association of Chinese Professionals in Geographic Information Sciences (CPGIS) in 1992. This annual international conference has provided a unique forum for exchanging ideas and knowledge on geo-information sciences between GIS professionals worldwide. The 18th International Conference on Geoinformatics (Geoinformatics 2010) will be held on June 18-20, 2010 at Beijing, China. The conference is co-organized by Peking University, Capital Normal University, and the International Association of Chinese Professionals in Geographic Information Sciences (CPGIS), and co-sponsored by the Geographical Society of China. The Institute of Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Science of Peking University is the local organizer of the conference.
The conference theme is “GIScience in Change.” It will provide an unprecedented opportunity for professionals and students from remote sensing, Geoinformation science, and related disciplines to discover cutting-edge geoinformatics technology and applications, while at the same time exchanging their ideas, research results, professional experiences, and future visions in the fields of geographic information science, remote sensing, and their applications.
The conference will include plenary, special, oral, and poster sessions. Please consider submitting your abstracts and papers to the sessions most suitable for exchanging your ideas and research with similar researchers.
The Organization Committee would like to invite all interested parties to propose special sessions for Geoinformatics 2010. Special session Chairs can propose full sessions (10 papers) or half sessions (5 papers). The Session chairs are responsible for inviting the papers and ensuring these papers are submitted via the normal conference referee process.
If a Special Session lacks enough papers to complete the time allotment, additional papers can be selected from the general paper submissions.
Abstracts and Papers:
Participants are invited to submit original, unpublished research contributions or experience reports not concurrently submitted elsewhere. All abstracts must be 300-500 words long and written in English. They will be refereed for quality, originality, and relevance by the program committee. The first call is for an extended abstract. Authors of the accepted abstracts will be invited to submit full papers to be published in an EI-indexed conference proceeding. Some selected papers will be published in special issues of SCI-indexed journals.
Please submit abstracts online at http://cn.geoinformatics2010.org. Abstracts must include title, authors (Firstname Surname), indicating the presenter by underlining their name and providing author's contact details: affiliations, department, full address (street, city, state/province, and country), telephone, fax, and Email.
