News:

l         IEEE GRSS has confirmed to publish the conference proceedings, which is covered by Engineering Index (EI).

l         For the purpose of environmental protection, instead of hardcopies, we have decided to provide digital conference proceedings in a DVD to each participant. All accepted papers could also be downloaded from Engineering Village (www.engineeringvillage.org). Accordingly, publication fee is reduced from $200 to $150.

Introduction

The Geoinformatics conference series was initiated by the International Association of Chinese Professionals in Geographic Information Sciences (CPGIS) in 1992. This annual international conference has provided a unique forum for exchanging ideas and knowledge on geo-information sciences between GIS professionals worldwide. The 19th International Conference on Geoinformatics (Geoinformatics 2011) will be held on June 24-26, 2010 at Shanghai, China. The conference is co-organized by East China Normal University, East China University of Science and Technology, and the International Association of Chinese Professionals in Geographic Information Sciences (CPGIS), and co-sponsored by Shanghai Urban Development Information Research Center. Key Lab of Geographical Information Science, Ministry of Education, is the local organizer of the conference.

The conference theme is “GIS in Education and Business” It will provide an unprecedented opportunity for professionals and students from remote sensing, Geoinformation science, and related disciplines to discover cutting-edge geoinformatics technology and applications, while at the same time exchanging their ideas, research results, professional experiences, and future visions in the fields of geographic information science, remote sensing, and their applications.

The conference will include plenary, special, oral, and poster sessions. Please consider submitting your abstracts and papers to the sessions most suitable for exchanging your ideas and research with similar researchers.

The Organization Committee would like to invite all interested parties to propose special sessions for Geoinformatics 2011. Special session Chairs can propose full sessions (10 papers) or half sessions (5 papers). The Session chairs are responsible for inviting the papers and ensuring these papers are submitted via the normal conference referee process. If a Special Session lacks enough papers to complete the time allotment, additional papers can be selected from the general paper submissions.

Abstracts and papers

Participants are invited to submit original, unpublished research contributions or experience reports not concurrently submitted elsewhere. All abstracts must be 300-500 words long and written in English. They will be refereed for quality, originality, and relevance by the program committee. The first call is for an extended abstract. Authors of all accepted abstracts will be invited to submit full papers to be published in EI-covered conference proceedings by IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS). Some selected papers will be published in special issues of SCI/SSCI-covered journals.

Please submit abstracts online at http://cpgis.org . Abstracts must include title, authors (First name Last name), indicating the presenter by underlining their name and providing author's contact information: affiliations, department, full address (street, city, state/province, and country), telephone, fax, and Email.

Special programs for participating students

CPGIS will organize student paper competition. The top quality papers will be selected as CPGIS GeoInformatics' 2011 Best Student Paper to receive plaque and cash award, and will be invited to submit a revised version to a special journal issue.
