日本データベース学会の皆様： 以下、ER2004と併設される「概念モデリングとGIS」に関する 第１回ワークショップのご案内を送らせていただきます。 どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。 有川正俊＠東大 ------------------ Call For Papers 1st Workshop on Conceptual Modeling for Geographic Information Systems (CoMoGIS2004) In Conjunction with ER2004, November 8-12, 2004, Shanghai, China Purposes and Scopes The recent advances in remote sensing and GPS technologies have increased the production and collection of geo-referenced data, thus requiring the rapid development and the wide deployment of various geographic information systems. With the popularity of World Wide Web and the diversity of GISs on the Internet, geographic information can now be available via personal devices anytime and anywhere. Nowadays GIS is emerging as a common information infrastructure, which penetrates into more and more aspects of our society, and converges with most areas in the IT scenario, such as office automation, workflow, digital libraries, Web searching, virtual reality, etc. This has given rise to new challenges related to the development of conceptual models for GIS. Recently several new approaches have been applied in the development of geo-spatial systems to accommodate new users requirements. The proposed workshop on Conceptual modeling for GIS is intended to bring together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners carrying out research and development in geographic information systems and conceptual modeling, and fostering interdisciplinary discussions in all aspects of these two fields. The workshop will provide a forum for original research contributions and practical experiences of conceptual modeling for GIS and will highlight future trends in this area. Therefore we will invite submissions that address theoretical, technical and practical issues of conceptual modelling for GIS. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to (as long as they are related to conceptual modelling in GIS): * Spatial data modeling * Conceptual and logical models for GIS * GIS services modeling * Ontologies for GIS applications * Schema mapping and evolution * Spatial data query and retrieval * Geographical search engines * Spatial information grid * Digital geographical libraries * Query languages and interfaces * Spatial information integration * Spatial information visualisation * Spatial data mining and data warehousing * Location-based services * Peer-to-peer computing for GIS * Semantic issues in GIS * Interoperability and standards * Metadata management * GIS Middleware architectures * Query processing and optimization * Spatio-temporal modeling Submission guidelines Authors should submit original manuscripts via email to Dr. Jihong Guan (jhguan@wtusm.edu.cn), as PostScript or PDF files by 1 June 2004. Papers may not exceed 5000 words. Use at least an 11-point font and no more than 20 double-spaced pages. Accepted papers will be included in the Proceedings of ER2004 Workshops, which will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series and distributed during the workshop. Typically published papers are 12 pages in LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Important Dates Paper submission: June 1, 2004 Notification: July 15, 2004 Camera ready: August 5, 2004 Program Co-Chairs Dr. Jihong Guan Wuhan University, China Email: jhguan@wtusm.edu.cn Dr. Michela Bertolotto University College Dublin, Ireland Email: michela.bertolotto@ucd.ie PC members(Still in expension) Gennady Andrienko (Fraunhofer Institute AIS, Germany) Masatoshi Arikawa (University of Tokyo, Japan) Chaitan Baru (San Diego Supercomputer Centre, USA) Patrice Boursier (University of La Rochelle, France) James Carswell (Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland) Barbara Catania (University of Genova, Italy) Jun Chen (NSDI, China) Christophe Claramunt (Naval Academy, France) Maria Luisa Damiani (University of Milano, Italy) Max Egenhofer (NCGIA, USA) Andrew Frank (Technical University of Vienna, Austria) Jianya Gong (Wuhan University, China) Michael Gould (University Jaume I, Spain) Giovanna Guerrini (University of Pisa, Italy) Erik Hoel (ESRI, USA) Bo Huang (National University of Singapore, Singapore) Christian Jensen (Aalborg University, Demark) Ning Jing(National University of Dedefence Technology, China) Menno-Jan Kraak (ITC, The Netherlands) Robert Laurini (INSA, France) Ki-Joune Li(Pushan University, Korea) Tok Wang Ling (National University of Singapore, Singapore) Dieter Pfoser (CTI, Greece) Philippe Rigaux (Univ.
