This represents an evolution of the traditional static and centralized geocomputational paradigm, to support the collection of both temporally and spatially high resolution, up-to-date data over a broad geographic area, and to use sensor networks as actuators in geographic space. These sensors can be static or mobile, and can be used to passively collect information about the environment or even to actively influence it. The research challenges behind this novel paradigm extend the frontiers of traditional GIS research further into computer science, addressing issues like data stream processing, mobile computing, location-based services, temporal-spatial queries over geosensor networks, adaptable middleware, sensor data integration and mining, automated updating of geospatial databases, VR modeling, and computer vision. In order to address these topics, the workshop will bring together leading experts in these fields, and provide a 3 day forum to present papers and exchange ideas. This interaction will provide a better understanding of research challenges related to the use of sensor networks for geospatial applications, and of the potential offered by geospatial analysis capabilities to improve sensor network management and analysis. TOPICS Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following as they relate to spatiotemporal applications and geosensor networks: * Data mining across sensor themes * Modeling spatio-temporal data streams * Data stream processing * Handling uncertainty and imprecision in geospatial data * Intelligent sensors/sensor fusion * Location-based queries * Middleware for pervasive computing * Mobile computing * Peer-to-peer collaboration strategies using geospatial information * Queries (aggregate and statistical) and reasoning over data streams * Query optimization over sensor networks * Real-time updating of geospatial databases * Sensor information management systems * Spatiotemporal sensor data mining * Video and motion imagery analysis for real-time scene and event modeling and monitoring * Virtual modeling of large geographic areas * Time geography * Privacy, geo-privacy IMPORTANT DATES Abstract Submissions: Wed, Aug 02 2006 (4:00 p.m. EST) Regular Paper Submissions: Wed, Aug 09, 2006 (4:00 p.m. EST) Notification of acceptance: Mon, Sep 05, 2006 Camera-ready version due: Mon, Sep 25, 2006 Conference starts: Sun, Oct 01, 2006 Conference ends: Tue, Oct 03, 2006 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS We are soliciting the following types of submissions: * regular, scientific papers reporting on original research results (up to 12 pages), * short papers or extended abstracts (2-4 pages) that serve as position papers or present work-in-progress, * demo proposals (up to 4 pages) that describe systems/prototypes to be demonstrated at the conference. In addition to the three types of paper submissions, proposals for panels on emerging or controversial topics are also especially welcome. Submissions will be handled electronically. Research paper submissions should be formatted in the ACM proceedings format and must not exceed the corresponding page limits. Each paper will be assigned for reviewing to at least three members of the program committee. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop, will appear in the informal workshop proceedings. Selected papers will be published as part of the post-proceedings. Detailed submission information will be posted on the conference web site.
