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. We invite submissions that address both theoretical and technical issues of W2GIS. Reports on implementations are particularly welcome. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to as long as they address issues related to W2GIS:

Conceptual and logical models for W2GIS
Data management and data retrieval methods
Geographical search engines and web services
Digital geographical libraries
W2GIS query languages and interfaces
2D and 3D information visualization
Exploratory cartography and interfaces
W2GIS data mining
W2GIS security
W2GIS applications and prototypes
Location-based services
Peer-to-peer computing
Cyber-geography
Semantic geo-spatial web
Mobile & Wireless GIS
Telematics and GIS Applications
Ubiquitous W2GIS
W2GIS personalization
Wayfinding

Accepted papers will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Each paper must be written in English, should be limited to 6000 words, and submitted via http://www.comp.glam.ac.uk/w2gis2007 in PDF format.

Authors please see www.springer.com/lncs for formatting template word.zip. Each paper must include a short abstract and a list of keywords indicating subject classification. The full names and addresses of the authors should be printed only on the title page. The author who is the contact person should be identified as such. Acceptance of a paper means an obligation for at least one of the authors to attend the conference and present the paper.

For all symposium enquiries, please contact the symposium organisers using w2gis2007@glam.ac.uk.
