========================= <BR><BR>Call for Participation - ACMGIS 2007<BR><BR>We would like to bring the upcoming ACM International Symposium on<BR>Advances in Geographic Information Systems (ACM GIS 2007). It will be<BR>in Seattle in November 7-9, 2007. The invited speakers include<BR>Michael Jones of Google Earth and Franz Leberl of Microsoft-3DI<BR>(Vexcel) and the University of Graz. The information can be found at<BR>http://www.cise.ufl.edu/dept/acmgis2007/index.html and the program is<BR>there as well. The program is also repeated below. We hope that you<BR>are able to come and look forward to seeing you there.<BR><BR>Hanan Samet Cyrus Shahabi Markus Schneider<BR>Co-general Chair Co-general Chair Program Chair<BR><BR>------------------------------------------<BR>15th International Symposium on<BR>Advances in Geographic Information Systems<BR><BR>Call for Participation<BR>------------------------------------------<BR><BR>November 7-9, 2007<BR>Seattle, Washington,
USA<BR><BR>In cooperation with ACM SIGMETRICS<BR><BR>Sponsored by Microsoft, ORNL, Google, and ESRI<BR><BR>http://www.cise.ufl.edu/dept/acmgis2007/<BR><BR>The ACM International Symposium on Advances in Geographic Information<BR>Systems in 2007 (ACM GIS 2007) is the fifteenth event of a series of<BR>symposia and workshops that began in 1993 with the aim of bringing<BR>together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners carrying out<BR>research and development in novel systems based on geo-spatial data and<BR>knowledge, and fostering interdisciplinary discussions and research in<BR>all aspects of geographic information systems. The symposium provides a<BR>forum for original research contributions covering all conceptual,<BR>design, and implementation aspects of GIS and ranging from<BR>applications, user interface considerations, and visualization down to<BR>storage management and indexing issues. This year, a novelty is that<BR>ACM GIS has separated from its long-time
host conference in order to<BR>become independent and more visible to the GIS community, further<BR>expand the spectrum of research topics covered by the symposium, and<BR>grow over the next years. ACM GIS will have two invited speakers, 37<BR>full papers and 29 poster papers (see below).<BR><BR>================<BR>Invited Speakers<BR>================<BR><BR>Michael T.
