GEOINFORMATIK 2013 - GEOINFORMATIK 2013

Whether you are a researcher or expert from industry or the public sector: we cordially invite you to shape the future of GIScience with us at GEOINFORMATIK 2013!
We especially encourage members of the public sector to submit their experiences with GI-technologies.

We cordially invite you to submit contributions for GEOINFORMATIK 2013. The three day event presents opportunities for researchers and field experts alike to inform themselves about the newest applications and to discuss future research directions.

GEOINFORMATIK 2013 especially invites contributions for the following topics of interest:

sensors and humans as sensors
innovative GDI solutions
ubiquitous GI-services
GI in 3D: acquisition, analysis and visualization
renewable energies, the ?energy turn“ and GI
Apart from these, all other topics relevant to the GISc-domain are welcome for submission.

GEOINFORMATIK 2013 will offer a Science Track with presentations given in English for accepted research papers. A poster session will allow participants to present current works in progress, research ideas and last-minute results.

A parallel Application Track offers practitioners from private and public sectors alike to present technologies and innovative applications. The talks will be given in German or English. The accompanying Trade Show enables direct exchange and presentation of relevant products and services.

Consequently, there is a tailor-made mode of publication and presentation for participants across the board:

Contributions from researchers (Science Track) (max. 10 pages) with unpublished results:
The submitted papers will be peer-reviewed according to a single-blind process. Contributions are to be submitted in English and must abide by the formatting guidelines to be considered for publication.
Selection criteria are relevance to the subject of the conference, originality, significance of results, clarity of presentation as well as text organization and use of language. Accepted papers will be presented orally at the conference and be published in the conference proceedings (with ISBN).

Contributions on innovative Applications (Application Track) (ca. 1-2 pages):
papers can be submitted either in German or English and will be accepted based on aspects of applicability, originality, and market relevance. Accepted contributions will be presented orally during the conference and published on the conference website. Note that pure product presentations might be a better fit for sponsored presentations (see below).

Formatting guidelines for the different categories of contributions (including posters) are to be found here soon.

Paper submission:
Please submit papers (and poster abstracts) before the announced deadline via our conference management system (available soon).
