COSIT 2024 - Short paper deadline extension

[Song GAO]

Dear Colleagues,

The deadline for the short papers submissions to COSIT 2024 has been extended to April 21 and registration for the conference is now open.

*** About the Conference ***

The 16th Conference on Spatial Information Theory will be held in Quebec City, Canada from September 17-20, 2024.  The theme of this year's COSIT is "spatial information theory for transparent translational research." In addition to original research papers on spatial information theory from any discipline, we especially welcome papers that make the link between spatial information theory and benefits to humanity, the biosphere, and the planet.

*** Open Calls for Participation ***

Short papers

Short papers of 7 pages (max) present late-breaking and in-progress research, with less emphasis on mature results. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the program committee. Accepted submissions will be selected for either oral or poster presentation at the conference. Authors of short papers accepted for oral presentation will have the option of having their papers included in the conference proceedings. All other accepted short papers will be shared in a non-archival digital repository. 

Doctoral Student Mentoring Program

Take your experience at COSIT as a doctoral student to the next level by participating in the Doctoral Student Mentoring Program! The mentoring program at COSIT 2024 encompasses three different pillars for engaging with the COSIT Community in Québec City: FEEDBACK: Pick one out of three different formats to present your doctoral research and get feedback; MENTORING: Meet one-on-one with experienced international scholars; PRESENTATION: Present your work as a lightning talk during a special session of the conference.  

Journal Article or Book Presentation

The conference will run a special thematic session dedicated to providing authors of recently published journal research articles or books on spatial information theory the opportunity to present and share their work in front of the COSIT audience. The article or book must have been published during the years 2022-2024. 

We look forward to seeing you in Quebec City in September.
