Ozsoyoglu | and experience in the rapidly advancing area of geographic | Case Western Res.| information systems. The workshop will bring together | | leading researchers and developers and will strive toward |ADVISORY COM.CHAIR| setting future research directions in this area. | | Since the workshop will be held in conjunction with CIKM, | H. Samet | participants will be able to maximize their interchange |Univ. of Maryland | of experiences and knowledge among researchers and | | practioners across the entire field of knowledge and |PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS | information management. | | | M. Egenhofer | | Univ. of Maine | SCOPE: | | | N. Pissinou | The primary focus of the workshop is on new and original | CACS/USL | research results in the areas of theoretical foundations, | | design, implementation and applications of GIS as well as | EUROPEAN CHAIR | experience reports from application specialists and the | | commercial community. The goal is to exchange research | P. Bergougnoux | ideas and results among participants. Suggested topics | Univ. Toulouse 1 | include, but are not limited to, the following AS THEY | | RELATE TO GIS: |PROGRAM COMMITTEE | | | * Query Processing and Optimization | A. El. Abbadi | * Electronic geographical data interchange standards | UC Santa Barbara | * GIS and cooperative work | | * GIS performance modeling and evaluation | W. Aref | * Imprecise spatio-temporal information | Matsushita | * Reasoning with GIS information | | * Parallel and Distributed GIS | R.

DeWitt | * Novel applications in scientific and | Wisconsin | environmental domains | | * Integration with existing commercial products | A. Frank | * Multi-media GIS | TU Vienna | * GIS meta data | | * Digital libraries | W. Franklin | | Rensselaer Poly. | | | WORKSHOP FORMAT | O. Guenther | |Humboldt Un.Berlin|The workshop will consist of a single session to be held | | over a two day period. It will be organized in a manner | N. Hachem | designed to maximize the opportunity for interaction | Worcester Poly. | discussion and exchange of ideas among the participants. | | It will be a combination of presentations with subsequent | J. Herring | discussions, and panels on recent developing and emerging | Intergraph | trend. This format should provide a forum for potential | | collaborations to develop among members of the community | S. Hirtle | of researchers and practitioners. | Univ. Pitsburg | | | | H.V. Jagadish | | AT&T Bell Labs | SUBMISSION: | | | K. Kolovson | Authors are invited to submit original research | HP | contributions or experience reports in english. Papers | | should be double-spaced and no longer than 5000 words. | G. Langran Kucera| Submissions will be reviewed, and should include | Intergraph | each author's full name, affiliation, complete address | | telephone number, and if available, fax number and | R. Laurini | internet address. Submitters should indicate in a cover | INSA Lyon | letter their willingness to attend the workshop and | | present their paper. | J. Lemoigne | | NASA/GSFC | | | Submitted papers will be refereed by at least three | K. Makki | reviewers for quality, correctness, originality and | UNLV | relevance. Accepted papers will be presented at the | | workshop and published in proceedings. | D. Mark | | SUNY Buffalo | | | Proposals for panels that examine emerging, innovative, | M. Mineter | or otherwise provocative geographic information issues | Edinburgh Univ. | are encouraged as well. Panel proposals should include | | a 1-2 page summary of the topic and the names and | M. Ozsoyoglu | affiliations of 3-4 panelists who have made a commitment | Case Western Res.| to participate. | | | E.K.
