GSDI 2012 - Global Geospatial Conference 2012 Spatially Enabling Government, Industry and Citizens

We are delighted to announce that the GSDI World Conference (GSDI 13), 14th GEOIDE Annual Scientific Conference, Canadian Geomatics Conference (CGC 2012) and the 7th 3D GeoInfo Conference will be jointly held as the Global Geospatial Conference 2012 to take place at the Québec City Convention Center from May 14-17, 2012.

This joint conference offers numerous opportunities for oral presentations and refereed and non-refereed publication outlets. We invite presentations covering the full range of practice, development and research experiences that advance the practice and theory of spatially enabling government, industry and citizens.

This call supports three primary forms of publication:
(1) a normal conference proceedings with abstracts and full non-refereed and refereed articles published on a USB drive or CD and archived on the web,
(2) a pre-conference published book of fully refereed articles titled "Spatially Enabling Government, Industry and Citizens: Research and Development Perspectives" to be distributed to all conference participants and archived on the web, and
(3) a pre-conference selection of articles for publication in the International Journal of Spatial Data Infrastructures Research (IJSDIR) to be selected, refereed, revised and published prior to and in affiliation with the conference.

In addition, two separate calls arising from the joint conference are being issued for chapter submissions to two additional books:
(1) "The Added Value of Scientific Networking: GEOIDE Network Experiences" to be distributed to all conference participants (Call for chapters at http://www.geoide.ulaval.ca/call-for-chapters.aspx), and
(2) "3DGeo Info Conference Proceedings" (Springer) to be mailed after the conference to all 3DGeo Conference participants which will be a single track on Wednesday and Thursday (Call at http://www.3dgeoinfo2012.ulaval.ca/?page_id=48).
