Fourth International Workshop on "Geographical Analysis, Urban
Modeling, Spatial Statistics"
GEOG-AN-MOD 09
http://www.lisut.org/workshop/GEOG-AN-MOD09/
in conjunction with
The 2009 International Conference on Computational
Science and its Applications (ICCSA 2009)
June 29th to July 2rd, 2009
Kyung Hee University-Global Campus, Yongin (Korea)
http://www.iccsa.org/
Workshop Description
The growth of Spatial Data Infrastructures, Geo-portals and private
sector initiatives (e.g. Google Earth, Microsoft Virtual Earth, etc.)
produced an increase of geographical data availability at any scale
and worldwide. This growth has not been fully coupled by an increase
of knowledge to support spatial decisions. Spatial analytical
techniques and geographical analysis and modelling methods are
therefore required in order to analyse data and to facilitate the
decision process at all levels. Old geographical issues can find an
answer thanks to new methods and instruments, while new issues are
developing, challenging the researchers for new solutions. This
workshop is aimed at contributing to the development of new techniques
and methods to improve the process on knowledge acquisition
The programme committee especially requests high quality submissions
on the following Conference Themes :
Geostatistics and spatial simulation;
Agent-based spatial modelling;
Cellular automata spatial modelling;
Spatial statistical models;
Space-temporal modelling;
Spatial network modelling;
Geovisual analytics, geovisualisation, visual exploratory data
analysis;
Visualisation and modelling of track data;
Spatial Optimization;
Interaction Simulation Models;
Data mining, spatial data mining;
Spatial Data Warehouse and Spatial OLAP;
Integration of Spatial OLAP and Spatial data mining;
Spatial Decision Support Systems;
Spatial Multicriteria Decision Analysis;
Spatial Rough Set;
Spatial extension of Fuzzy Set theory;
Ontologies for Spatial Analysis;
Urban modeling;
Applied geography;
Spatial data analysis;
Dynamic modelling;
Simulation, space-time dynamics, visualization and virtual reality.
Each paper will be independently reviewed by 3 programme committee
members. Their individual scores will be evaluated by a small sub-
committee and result in one of the following final decisions:
accepted, or accepted on the condition that suggestions for
improvement will be incorporated, or rejected. Notification of this
decision will take place March 24, 2009.
Individuals and groups should submit complete papers (10 to 16 pages).
Accepted contributions will be published in the Springer-Verlag
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volumes.
