The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic
Information Systems 2016 (ACM SIGSPATIAL 2016) is the twenty fourth
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 2016.
Suggested Geospatial-related topics include but are not limited to the
following:
Cartography and Geodesy
Computational Geometry
Computer Graphics Applications
Computer Vision Applications
Distributed and Parallel Algorithms
Earth Observation
Geographic Information Retrieval

* Paper Format
Manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format and formatted using the
ACM camera-ready templates available at
http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-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Authors are invited to submit full, original, unpublished research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 as poster
papers that will be requested to be shortened to 4 pages.
* Industrial Experience and Systems Papers
Industrial experience and systems papers 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.
* Presentation
At least one author per accepted research, industrial experience and
systems, demonstration, or vision paper 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 2016, with prizes, is a geospatial-focused
algorithm competition.
