Call for Papers

 

On behalf of the AGILE council, we would like to invite you to participate at the 14th AGILE International Conference on Geographic Information Science, scheduled to take place in Utrecht, The Netherlands. The program will offer parallel paper presentation sessions, keynote sessions, poster sessions and pre‐conference workshops to share your ideas, explore on‐going research, future developments, including state‐of‐the‐art applications, and to network with the professionals from academia, industry, and government who are interested in promoting GI teaching and research activities among GI laboratories at the European level.

 

Potential contributors are invited to submit:

 

Ø      Full paper submission (maximum 6000‐word manuscript) of original and unpublished fundamental scientific research. High‐quality scientific submissions will be accepted for presentation at the conference and published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Geoinformation and Cartography. We especially encourage PhD students to submit full papers. Papers must be written in English according to the Springer formatting guidelines.

 

Note: AGILE 2011 is running a double-blind review process . In preparing your manuscript, do not inclu de any information which could reveal your i de n tity, or that of your co‐authors . The title section of your manuscript should not contain any author names, email addresses, or affiliation status .
