Fifth International Workshop on "Geographical Analysis,Urban Modeling, Spatial Statistics"

GEOG-AN-MOD 10http://www.unibas.it/utenti/murgante/geog_an_mod_10/index.html

in conjunction with

The 2010 International Conference on ComputationalScience and its Applications (ICCSA 2010)

March 23th to March 26th, 2010,Kyushu Sangyo University, Fukuoka, Japan

Workshop DescriptionDuring the past decades the main problem of geographical analysis was the lack of spatial data availability.Today the wide diffusion of electronic devices containing geo-referenced information generates a greatproduction of spatial data. Volunteered geographic information activities (e.g. Wikimapia, OpenStreetMap),

public initiatives (e.g. Spatial Data Infrastructures, Geo-portals) and private projects (e.g. Google Earth,Microsoft Virtual Earth, etc.) produced an overabundance of spatial data which in many cases does not helpthe efficiency of decision processes. The increase of geographical data availability has not been fullycoupled by an increase of knowledge to support spatial decisions. The inclusion of spatial simulationtechniques in recent GIS software favoured the diffusion of these methods, but in several cases led to themechanism of which buttons to press without having geography in mind. Spatial analytical techniques,geographical analyses and modelling methods are therefore required in order to analyse data and tofacilitate the decision process at all levels. Old geographical issues can find an answer thanks to newmethods and instruments, while new issues are developing, challenging the researchers for new solutions.This workshop aims at contributing to the development of new techniques and methods to improve theprocess of knowledge acquisition.

The programme committee especially requests high quality submissions on the following

Conference Themes :Geostatistics and spatial simulation;Agent-based spatial modelling;Cellular automata spatial modelling;Environmental ModellingSpatial statistical models;Space-temporal modelling;Spatial network modelling;Geovisual analytics, geovisualisation, visual exploratory data analysis;Visualisation and modelling of track data;Spatial Optimization;Interaction Simulation Models;Data mining, spatial data mining;

Spatial Data Warehouse and Spatial OLAP;Integration of Spatial OLAP and Spatial data mining;Spatial Decision Support Systems;Spatial Multicriteria Decision Analysis;Spatial Rough Set;Spatial extension of Fuzzy Set theory;Ontologies for Spatial Analysis;Urban modeling;Applied geography;Spatial data analysis;Dynamic modelling;Simulation, space-time dynamics, visualization and virtual reality.Each paper will be independently reviewed by 3 programme committee members. Their individual scores will

be evaluated by a small sub-committee and result in one of the following final decisions: accepted, oraccepted on the condition that suggestions for improvement will be incorporated, or rejected. Notification ofthis decision will take place on 7 December 2009.
