Call for Papers for SDH 2012
(**apologies for cross-posting**)

15th International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling
--Geospatial dynamics, geosimulation and exploratory visualization
22-24th August, 2012, in Bonn, Germany (1 week before the IGC in
Cologne)

The 15th SDH aims to bring together scholars and professionals from
the
international GIScience community to present the latest research
achievements and
to share experiences in Geospatial dynamics, geosimulation and
exploratory
visualization. The Symposium program will feature keynote speeches
delivered by
leading scholars, technical sessions with reports of the latest
research outcomes, a
student forum and pre-conference workshops. We expect it to become a
major event
in the international GIScience community in 2012.
The International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling (SDH) is the
premier biennial
international research forum for Geospatial Information Science
(GIScience). It
commenced in 1984, in Zurich, Switzerland and has been held in
Seattle, USA;
Sydney, Australia; Zurich, Switzerland; Charleston, USA; Edinburgh,
UK; Delft, The
Netherlands; Vancouver, Canada; Beijing, China; Ottawa, Canada;
Leicester, UK;
Vienna, Austria; Montpellier, France; and Hong Kong, China.
Paper selection is based on full paper double blind peer review.
Accepted papers will
be published in the symposium proceedings (Within the Springer series
on Advances
in Geographic Information Science). Selected papers may be published
in a special
issue in the International Journal of Geographical Information
Science.

We solicit papers in the following themes:
• Modeling and Analysis of Movement Data
• Geosimulation
• Spatiotemporal Data Structures and Algorithms
• Spatiotemporal Modeling and Analysis
• Modeling Spatial Dynamics
• Spatial Process Models
• Location-Based Services
• User-Generated Content
• Geospatial Data Integration
• Spatio-temporal Information Acquisition
• Geosensor networks
• Multi-scalar Modeling and Analysis
• Geographic Information Retrieval and Dissemination
