ISA 2011 - 3rd ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Indoor Spatial Awareness (ISA) 2011

The series of ISA workshops has recently been started to exchange original and cutting-edge research dedicated to indoor spatial awareness. As spatial information technologies and applications are going nowadays beyond their traditional boundaries, research into indoor space is increasingly attracting attention from academia and industry. Location based services, geographic information systems, and ubiquitous computing applications are all extending their coverage from outdoor space to indoor space. Indoor space differs from outdoor space in several important aspects including layout, topology, constraints, and so forth. High-quality research is required to create new theories and to acquire fresh experiences that can be applied to building integrated, seamless systems across space boundaries. This workshop is intended to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners who work on different topics of indoor spatial awareness and to provide a forum for inspiring interdisciplinary discussions in all relevant aspects.
This workshop calls for regular research papers, work-in-progress papers, as well as system demonstrations. The themes of this workshop include (but are not limited to) the following topics:
Indoor spatial data models
Management of moving objects in indoor space
Positioning, tracking and navigation in indoor space
Indexing and query processing of indoor spatial databases
Construction of indoor spatial databases
Context‐awareness in indoor space
Indoor space analysis
Ontology for indoor space
Interoperability and standards for indoor space
Applications and services for indoor space
