The ACM International Symposium on Advances in Geographic Information
Systems in 2007 (ACM GIS 2007) is the fifteenth event of a series of
symposia and workshops that began in 1993 with the aim of bringing
together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners carrying
out research and development in novel systems based on geo-spatial
data and knowledge, and fostering interdisciplinary discussions and
research in all aspects of geographic information systems. The
symposium provides a forum for original research contributions
covering all conceptual, design, and implementation aspects of GIS
and ranging from applications, user interface considerations, and
visualization down to storage management and indexing issues. This
year, a novelty is that ACM GIS has separated from its long-time host
conference in order to become independent and more visible to the GIS
community, further expand the spectrum of research topics covered by
the symposium, and grow over the next years.

PAPER FORMATTING GUIDELINES

Authors are invited to submit full, original, unpublished research
papers that are not being considered for publication in any other
forum. Manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format and formatted
using the ACM camera-ready templates available at

http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.

Papers cannot exceed 8 pages in length. In addition to the regular
full-length papers, the Program Committee may accept some as poster
papers which may be requested to be shortened. All submitted papers
will be refereed for quality, originality, and relevance by the
Program Committee. The acceptance/rejection of the papers will be
based on the review results. All questions should be addressed to the
Program Committee Chair. One author per paper is required to register
and attend the conference to present the paper if accepted for
publication.


PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Submissions to the conference will be electronically and online only.
Authors are asked to submit an Abstract first, and then to upload the
full paper in PDF file format. The online submission system will be
available from April 30, 2007.
