Call for
Participation
Second
International Joint
Workshop on Ubiquitous, Pervasive and Internet Mapping (UPIMap2006),
Seoul,
Korea, October 23 - 25, 2006
The ICA Commissions on
Ubiquitous
Mapping and Maps and the Internet announce a workshop in Seoul at the
end
of October 2006. The workshop is sponsored by the Commission on
Ubiquitous
Mapping, the Commission on Maps and the Internet, the University of
Seoul,
the Center for Spatial Information Science (CSIS) of the University of
Tokyo. The ICA commissions were formed in 1999 and 2003 respectively in
response to the rapid growth in the use of electronic networks to make
and distribute maps and spatial data, and rapid diffusion of new mobile
devices. The purpose of the workshop is to bring together international
specialists in the field of Mobile Mapping, Location Based Services and
Internet Mapping, and to disseminate information to a broader audience
on new developments and major areas of research. UPIMap2004 in Tokyo
included
on site demonstrations of commercial human and car navigation systems
and
visits to the Tokyo metropolitan traffic control center and ! the VICS
(Vehicles Information Control System) center for car navigation.
UPIMap2006
in Korea will present another opportunity to see the latest in mapping
technology. Demonstrations in Seoul will highlight new developments in
ubiquitous and Internet mapping. A visit will also be included to the
digital
city simulation center at Seoul University.
Important Dates
June 30, 2006 -
Abstracts Due
(300-600 words)
July 10, 2006 - Notification of Acceptance
August 31, 2006 - Working Papers due for Paper Sessions
October 23 - 25, 2006 - Workshop in Seoul
General Information
The Workshop will focus
on a
variety of issues related to the making and utilization of maps and
location
based information through mobile devices and the Internet. Working
papers
should address the terms of reference of the commissions.
ICA Commission on
Ubiquitous
Mapping
This new commission deals with a "well-mapped society" where
maps will be available anywhere and anytime. Today, the number of way
maps
and geo-spatial information are likely to be employed is very large and
diverse. As the individual gains the ability to access relevant spatial
information on demand, human behavior will be influenced in interesting
ways. The commission concentrates more on theoretical than practical
issues.
Its terms of reference are:
1. To
organize regional workshop including site observation to comprehend the
contemporary situation of mobile, car-navigation and location based
mapping
2. To
clarify the similarity and difference in comparing variant systems to
establish
an evaluation scheme
3. To
place the notion of Ubiquitous Mapping in domain of Theoretical
Cartography
ICA Commission on
Maps
and the Internet
The Internet has increased the distribution of maps and re-defined how
maps are used. This commission explores the potential of the Internet
to
improve the quality of maps as a form of communication.
1. Focus
attention on disseminating maps and spatial data through distributed
electronic
networks. Product: Journal articles and web pages.
2. Examine
Internet map usage and project future areas of growth.
3. Examine
web map user issues to better serve user needs.
4. Promote
the exchange of information about effective Internet mapping for an
international
audience.
5. Improve
user access to maps by examining the potential of Internet map
metadata.
6. Promote
instruction on Internet mapping through collaboration / coordination
with
other ICA commissions

Who Should Attend?
Anyone interested in the
use
of mobile devices and/or the Internet for the making, distribution,
organization
and use of maps and spatial data:
- members of academia
who wish
to familiarize themselves with recent research developments and who are
keen to develop new perspectives;
- practitioners from
mapping
organizations as well as software industry representatives who wish to
contribute their experience with commercial Internet mapping software
and
explore new concepts and opportunities for software development;
- students of
cartography who
wish to have a better understanding of the major areas of research
related
to the making of maps through the Internet.
The
participation of young researchers is particularly encouraged.
About the Location
The meeting will be held
at
the University of Seoul. (http://www.uos.ac.kr/ceng/bunvinf/g010/cbg010.jsp).
