SDH 2008 - The 13th International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling

23rd to 25th June, 2008 - Montpellier, France

The International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling (SDH) is the premier international research forum for Geographic Information Science. It commenced in 1984, in Zurich, Switzerland, organized by the International Geographical Union Commission. The conference is run biannually and is coming to Montpellier (South of France) in 2008.

Any researcher interested in presenting a paper is invited to submit a full text paper (~ 5000 words) before the 15th January 2008. All papers will be subject to full review by the International Programme Committee, and, if accepted, published in the conference proceedings. See:

for accurate submission information.

DEADLINES :
* Submission of Full Text Papers : 15th January 2008
* Notification of Acceptance and Revisions : 22nd February 2008
* Submission of Final Manuscript : 14th March 2008
* Conference : 23rd - 25th June 2008

TOPICS:
Papers can be in any area of Geographical Information Science, which is to say in the theoretical areas that address the working of and work with Geographical Information Systems. Papers might be related to a large range of topics, of which the following list is illustrative not prescriptive, including:

* Uncertainty in spatial information: How it is conceptualised, Described, Modelled, and Propagated.

* User interfaces: Usability testing, Interface design, and Visual languages.

* Scale issues of geographical information: Problems with scale, Exploiting scale, Multiscale analysis and description.

* Databases: Extending Geographical database structures, Data Models, Data fusion, Data base description and ontology, Interoperability.

* Dissemination of Geographical Data: Spatial Data Infrastructures, Web Access, Watermarking

* Visualisation: New and traditional approaches to visualisation and mapping, Generalisation, Symbolisation,

* Terrain and surface modelling: Interpolation, Modelling, Analysing, and Extracting Features

* Spatial Modelling: The use of spatial data in urban, regional, transport and environmental modelling

* Remote Sensing: The conversion of RS data to information, Novel algorithms, and Integration and Fusion of data.

* Spatial Cognition: Human understanding of space, Models of space, Wayfinding,

* Social issues of GIScience theory and GISystem use

* Critical approaches to and evaluations of the use of GISystems in applications

* Social, Economic, Legal and Policy issues of Geodata and GISystems use
