13 EC GI & GIS workshop

Call for papers

The Workshop will be organised through a series of plenary sessions addressing common policy issues and parallel sessions focusing in particular on environmental applications and implementations of SDIs

With this in mind this call for papers envisages submissions for the following topic areas

SDIs for environmental analysis, monitoring, and modelling; environmental protection, natural hazards prediction and mitigation, and other applications areas including water, soil, land use and land cover change, forestry, and atmospheric pollution;
SDI Implementations: We are particularly interested in models for coordinating multiple stakeholders (public/private sector)
European funded projects: Lessons learnt and opportunities. We will hold a round table discussion on the synergies between the projects and opportunities ahead
Social and economic impacts of implementing SDIs

We are particularly interested in accounts of what works, and what does not work, what are perceived benefits for policy, public administration, citizens and the private sector. Proposals will be evaluated by the programme committee and those accepted will be included in the on-line conference proceedings.

Full papers can be submitted for peer review to the International Journal of Spatial Data Infrastructures Research (IJSDIR) for publication in a special EC GI & GIS Workshop issue.
