Theme

The recent advances on the developments of Wireless and Internet technologies have generated increasing interest in the diffusion and processing of geo-referenced data. Wireless and Internet devices also offer new ways of accessing and analyzing geo-spatial information. Consequently, new challenges and opportunities have been provided to the GIS research community.

This Symposium is intended to provide an up-to-date review of advances in recent development of Web and Wireless Geographical Information Systems (W2GIS). It is the 7th in a series of successful events beginning with Kyoto 2001, with the most recent event held in Hong Kong 2006.

Papers will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

Venue

The symposium is being organised locally by the University of Glamorgan, and will be held in Cardiff, the capital city of Wales, UK. The symposium will take place at the Novotel Cardiff Centre hotel. Delegates are encouraged to stay at the conference hotel.
