日本データベース学会の皆様 来年4月に香港で開催のDASFAA 2011の併設ワークショップ SIM^3 の論文募集で す．空間データに関わる内容であれば広く受け入れるとのことです． 投稿のほど，ご検討よろしくお願いいたします．11/30が締切となっています． 石川佳治＠名古屋大学 ================================================ The First International Workshop on Spatial Information Modeling, Management and Mining (SIM^3) (in conjunction with DASFAA2011, April 22-25, 2011, Hong Kong, China) http://admis.fudan.edu.cn/conferences/sim3-2011 Nowadays, spatial data exists pervasively in various information systems and applications. The unprecedented amount of spatial data that has been amassed and that is being produced in an increasing speed, via various facilities such as sensors, GPS receivers, smart phones and remote sensing, calls for extensive, deep and sustaining research on spatial information modeling, management and mining. In the past decade, we witnessed increasing research interests in these areas from database, data mining and geographic information systems (GIS) communities. The First International Workshop on Spatial Information Modeling, Management and Mining (SIM^3-2011) is a half day workshop conjuncted with DASFAA 2011, which intend to bring together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners carrying out research and development in spatial information modeling, management and mining, and foster discussions in all aspects of these research areas. The workshop will provide a forum for original research contributions and practical experiences of spatial information modeling, management and mining and will highlight future trends in these topics. SIM^3-2011 invites submissions that address theoretical, technical and practical issues of spatial information modelling, management, and mining. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: - Spatial information modeling * Spatial data modeling * Conceptual and logical models for spatial data * Spatial services modeling * Spatial information grid * Ontologies for GIS applications * Schema mapping and evolution * Spatial semantic issues - Spatial information management * Spatial query languages and interfaces * Spatial query processing and optimization * Spatial search engines * Spatial data management in cloud * Spatial information integration * Spatial information interoperability and standards * Spatial metadata management * Spatial information visualisation * Location-based services - Spatial mining * Spatial correlation analysis * Spatial clustering * Spatial regression and classification * Spatial trend detection * Spatial outlier detection * Spatial data warehousing == Publications == The accepted paper will be included in the combined proceedings of DASFAA 2011 workshops via a volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science series of Springer (pending for approval). Accepted papers will also be invited to extend and submit to a special issue in International Journal of Data Mining, Management and Modeling (www.inderscience.com/ijdmmm) on Spatial Information Modeling, Management and Mining. == Submission Instructions == Authors are invited to submit electronically original, English-language research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. Please format your submissions in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), and limit your submissions to 12 pages. The style files are available from Springer LNCS site. Please submit your paper(s) via EasyChair. == Important Dates == Paper Submission Deadline: November 30, 2010 Notification of Acceptance: December 31, 2010 Camera Ready Papers Due: January 20, 2011 Workshop: April 22, 2011 == Workshop Organizer == Co-Chairs: Dr. Xin Wang (The University of Calgary, Canada) Dr. Jihong Guan (Tongji University, China) == Program Committee Members == Lars Bernard (Technical University of Dresden, Germany) Michela Bertolotto (University College Dublin, Ireland) Elena Camossi (JRC, ISPRA, Italy) Han Cao (Shannxi Normal University, China) Christophe Claramunt (Naval Academy Research Institute, France) Liqiang Geng (National Research Council, Canada) Bo Huang (The Chinese University of Hong Kong, China) Yan Huang (University of North Texas, USA) Yoshiharu Ishikawa (Nagoya University, Japan) Bin Jiang (University of Gavle, Sweden) Ning Jing (National University of Defence Technology, China) Ki-Joune Li (Pusan National University, Korea) Songnian Li (Ryerson University, Canada) Xiang Li (East China Normal University, China) Eleni Mangina (University College Dublin, Ireland) Gavin McArdle (NCG, Ireland) Zhiyong Peng (Wuhan University, China) Wolfgang Reinhardt (UniBw Munchen, Germany) Angela Schwering (University of Osnabrueck, Germany) Wenzhong Shi (Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China) Xiaohua Tong (Tongji University, China) Monica Wachowicz (Wageningen University,The Netherlands) Shuliang Wang (Wuhan University, China) Shuigeng Zhou (Fudan University, China) Fubao Zhu (Fudan University, China)
