The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic 
Information Systems 2012 (ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2012) is the twentieth event in a 
series of symposia and workshops that began in 1993 with the aim of bringing 
together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners in relation to novel 
systems based on geo-spatial data and knowledge, and fostering 
interdisciplinary discussions and research in all aspects of geographic 
information systems. The conference provides a forum for original research 
contributions covering all conceptual, design, and implementation aspects of 
GIS ranging from applications, user interfaces, and visualization to data 
storage and query processing and indexing. The conference is the premier annual 
event of the ACM Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM 
SIGSPATIAL). Researchers, students, and practitioners are invited to submit 
their contributions to ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2012.

be submitted in PDF format and formatted using the ACM camera-ready templates 
available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. Submissions 
are limited to 10 pages. It is important that previous related work (especially 
appearing in prior editions of the ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS Conference and the ACMGIS 
workshops/symposia) be appropriately cited. In addition to the regular 
full-length papers, the Program Committee may accept some as poster or demo 
papers which will be requested to be shortened. All submissions will be 
refereed for quality, originality, and relevance by the Program Committee. 
Accepted papers will be considered for Best Paper Award. 

 
*Ph.D. Dissertation Showcase Papers*

Ph.D. students are encouraged to submit their Ph.D. research contributions and 
work-in-progress, limited to 6 pages -- append '(Ph.D. Showcase)' to the title. 
Student authors of accepted papers will be able to present a summary of their 
research at the conference. Successful Ph.D. showcase papers will appear in the 
SIGSPATIAL Newsletter.
 

*Industrial Experience and Systems Papers*

Industrial Experience and systems papers are invited that describe original 
industrial experiences, challenges, and applications, as well as systems to be 
presented during the conference. Industrial Experience and Systems paper 
submissions are limited to 10 pages -- append '(Industrial Paper)' or '(Systems 
Paper)' to the title as is appropriate. Accepted Industrial Experience and 
Systems papers will appear in the conference proceedings.


*Demonstration Papers*

Authors are invited to submit demo papers describing original demonstrations to 
be presented at the conference. Submissions are limited to 4 pages -- append 
'(Demo Paper)' to the title. Accepted demo papers will appear in the conference 
proceedings.


*Submission*

At least one author per accepted paper, poster, Ph.D. Dissertation showcase, 
industrial paper, or demo must register and attend the conference to present 
the accepted submission. Otherwise, the accepted submission will not appear in 
the published conference proceedings or in the ACM Digital Library version of 
the conference proceedings. All questions should be addressed to the PC Chairs. 
Submissions should be uploaded through the submission site at: 
https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=acmsigspatialgis2012
