Acceptance Notification: 25 August 2015
The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic
Information Systems 2015 (ACM SIGSPATIAL 2015) is the twenty-third event in a
series of symposia and workshops that began in 1993 with the aim of bringing
together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners in relation to novel
systems based on geo-spatial data and knowledge, and fostering interdisciplinary
discussions and research in all aspects of geographic information systems. The
conference provides a forum for original research contributions covering all
conceptual, design, and implementation aspects of geospatial data ranging from
applications, user interfaces, and visualization to data storage and query
processing and indexing. The conference is the premier annual event of the ACM
Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM SIGSPATIAL). Researchers,
students, and practitioners are invited to submit their contributions to ACM
SIGSPATIAL 2015.

following:
- Big Spatial Data

Paper Format: Manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format and formatted using
the ACM camera-ready templates available at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html
It is important that previous related work (especially appearing in prior
editions of the ACM SIGSPATIAL Conference and the ACM SIGSPATIAL
workshops/symposia) be appropriately cited. All submissions will be refereed for
quality, originality, and relevance by the Program Committee. Accepted papers
will be considered for "Best Paper Award."
Research Papers: Authors are invited to submit full, original, unpublished
research papers that are not being considered for publication in any other
forum. Submissions are limited to 10 pages. In addition to the regular
full-length papers, the Program Committee may accept some for poster
presentation of the central idea for which a maximum of 4 proceedings pages will
be allowed - append "(Poster Paper)" to the title as is appropriate.
Industrial Experience and Systems Papers: Authors are invited that describe
original industrial experiences, challenges, and applications, as well as
systems to be presented during the conference. Industrial Experience and
Systems paper submissions are limited to 10 pages - append "(Industrial Paper)"
or "(Systems Paper)" to the title as is appropriate. Accepted Industrial
Experience and Systems papers will appear in the conference proceedings.
Demonstration Papers: Authors are invited to submit demo papers describing
original demonstrations to be presented at the conference. Submissions are
limited to 4 pages - append "(Demo Paper)" to the title. Accepted demo papers
will appear in the conference proceedings.
Vision Papers: Authors are invited to submit vision papers describing visionary
ideas to be presented at the conference. Submissions are limited to 4 pages --
append "(Vision Paper)" to the title. Accepted vision papers will appear in the
conference proceedings. The Computing Research Association's Computing Community
Consortium (CCC) is sponsoring awards for the top three papers (first prize
$1000, second prize $750, and third prize $500 awarded as travel grants) under
their CCC Blue Sky initiative (http://www.cra.org/ccc/visioning/blue-sky).
Authors are encouraged to submit vision papers that are "open-ended, possibly
*outrageous* or *wacky*, and present new problems, new application domains, or
new methodologies that are likely to stimulate significant new research."
Presentation: At least one author per accepted paper, poster, vision, industrial
paper, or demo must register and attend the conference to present the accepted
submission. Otherwise, the accepted submission will not appear in the published
conference proceedings or in the ACM Digital Library version of the conference
proceedings.
Programming Contest: The ACM SIGSPATIAL CUP 2015, with prizes, is a
geospatial-focused algorithm competition.
