[Dbworld] CFP: ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS Workshop on SoLoMo Data in the Cloud (SDC)

           International Workshop on SoLoMo Data in the Cloud (SDC)
                    http://www.nec-labs.com/dm/sdc2012/

                   Co-located with ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2012
                     (http://acmgis2012.cs.umd.edu/)
                November 6th 2012, Redondo Beach, California

When people on the move consume location-based services, join social 
networks, check into restaurants, or read local news, they knowingly or 
unknowingly access, query, and consume spatial data in the cloud. Cloud 
computing has emerged as a promising computing and business model to 
support the backends of Social-Location-Mobile (SoLoMo) applications. This 
workshop aims at understanding the unique challenges of spatial, social 
and mobile data in the cloud that is not typically encountered in more 
mainstream data forms. The workshop will target a variety of research 
topics from acquisition, representation and visualization of spatial, 
temporal and social network data in the cloud, to systems for processing, 
querying, and cleaning spatial data. The SDC workshop aims at bringing 
researchers and practitioners in cloud computing and data management 
systems dealing with spatial data to discuss research issues at the 
intersection of these areas, and draw more attention from the larger data 
management research community to this new and highly promising field.

[Dbworld] CFP: ACM SIGSPATIAL MobiGIS 2012

The First ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Mobile Geographic Information Systems
(ACM SIGSPATIAL MobiGIS 2012)
November 6, 2012 – Redondo Bench, CA, USA
http://www.mobigis.org

In conjunction with the 20th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems
(ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS)
November 6 – 9, 2012
http://acmgis2012.cs.umd.edu

Call For Papers

Background. Combining the functionality of mobile devices (smartphones and tablets), wireless communication (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3/4G), and positioning technologies (GPS, Assisted GPS and GLONASS) results in a new era of mobile geographic information systems (MobiGISs) that aim at providing various invaluable services, including location-based services, intelligent transportation systems, logistics management, security and safety, etc. Many MobiGISs have been developed to solve challenging real-world problems and improve our quality of life.

Goal. ACM SIGSPATIAL MobiGIS 2012 will bring together researchers and practitioners from the GIS community, the mobile computing community, and the data management community, etc. MobiGIS's goal is to foster an opportunity for researchers to gather and discuss ideas that will shape and influence emerging GIS-related research areas. 

The scope of MobiGIS includes but is not limited to the following topics:

  • Spatio-temporal context-aware computing
  • Spatio-temporal participatory sensing
  • Spatio-temporal remote sensing
  • Spatio-temporal data mining
  • Intelligent transportation systems
  • Indoor navigation systems
  • Location-aware e-business and recommender systems
  • Logistics management systems
  • Spatio-temporal query modeling, execution and optimization
  • Mobile social networks
  • Mobile localization
  • Mobile surveillance
  • Augmented reality for GIS
  • Location privacy and security for GIS
  • Mobile ad-hoc networks for GIS
  • Mobile cloud computing for GIS
  • Mobile sensor networks for GIS
  • Mobility management for GIS
  • Mobility-aware modeling, systems and architecture for GIS
  • Mobility-aware intelligent systems for GIS
  • Smartphone applications for GIS
  • Distributed and parallel processing for mobile GIS
  • Middleware support for mobile GIS
  • Pervasive computing for mobile GIS
  • Web services for mobile GIS

One author per accepted workshop paper is required to register for the conference and workshop, to attend the workshop and to present the accepted paper. Otherwise, the accepted paper will not appear in the workshop proceedings or in the ACM Digital Library version of the workshop proceedings. Accepted papers will be considered for "Best Paper Award".

Paper Submission. We welcome submissions of research papers, vision papers, and work-in-progress papers describing novel and interesting ideas or innovative applications. A research paper should not exceed 8 pages, and a vision or work-in-progress paper should not exceed 4 pages. All manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format and formatted using the ACM SIG Proceedings templates available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates 

All research, vision, and work-in-progress papers should be submitted using the workshop management system: ACM SIGSPATIAL MobiGIS 2012 Workshop Management System

Important Dates:
Paper Submission Deadline: August 1, 2012
Notification Acceptance: August 31, 2012
