日本データベース学会の皆様 立命館の手塚です。 3月に京都で行われる国際シンポジウム W2GIS (Web and Wireless Geographical Information Systems) に関しまして、 Call for Participation を送らせていただきます。 第10回を迎え、地理情報システムを中心に、空間データの利活用、位置情報サービスなど、多数の発表が行われます。 http://kc.nict.go.jp/w2gis2011/program.html また、キーノートとしまして、Microsoft Research Asia の Web Search and Mining Group の lead researcher である Dr. Xing Xie、 Web上でのフリーな地図作成プロジェクト（いわばWikipediaの地図版）OpenStreetMap ならびに CloudMade の創設者である Dr. Steve Coast にご講演いただきます。 http://kc.nict.go.jp/w2gis2011/speaker.html ぜひご参加をご検討いただけましたら幸いです。 手塚太郎 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 10th International Symposium on Web and Wireless Geographical Information Systems (W2GIS 2011) 03 - 04 March, 2011, Kyoto, Japan http://www.w2gis.org The continuing advances in the development of Wireless and Internet technologies generate ever increasing interest in the diffusion, usage, and processing of geo-referenced data of all types - geomedia. Spatially aware wireless and Internet devices also offer new ways of accessing and analyzing geo-spatial information in both real-world and virtual spaces. Consequently, new challenges and opportunities have been provided that expands the traditional GIS research scope into the realm of Intelligent Media - including geomedia with context-aware behaviours for self-adaptive use and delivery. Our common aim is research-based innovation that increases the ease of creating, delivering and using geomedia across different platforms and application domains that continue to have dramatic effect on society. The 2011 Symposium, hosted by Kyoto University GCOE Program, is intended to provide an up-to-date review of advances in recent development of Web and Wireless Geographical Information Systems (W2GIS). W2GIS is a series of successful events alternating locations between East Asia and Europe, with the most recent event held in Maynooth, Ireland. The 10th Symposium is returning to Kyoto, where the W2GIS series was first launched in 2001. Symposium Chairs K. Tanaka, Kyoto University, Japan P. Frohlich, FTW, Austria K.
