SIM3 2011 - The First International Workshop on Spatial Information Modeling, Management and Mining (SIM3)

Nowadays, spatial data exists pervasively in various information systems and applications. The unprecedented amount of spatial data that has been amassed and that is being produced in an increasing speed, via various facilities such as sensors, GPS receivers, smart phones and remote sensing, calls for extensive, deep and sustaining research on spatial information modeling, management and mining. In the past decade, we witnessed increasing research interests in these areas from database, data mining and geographic information systems (GIS) communities.

The First International Workshop on Spatial Information Modeling, Management and Mining (SIM3-2011) is a half day workshop conjuncted with DASFAA 2011, which intend to bring together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners carrying out research and development in spatial information modeling, management and mining, and foster discussions in all aspects of these research areas. The workshop will provide a forum for original research contributions and practical experiences of spatial information modeling, management and mining and will highlight future trends in these topics.
