GEOINFORMATIK 2013 Geo together – GIScience connects 13.03.-­‐15.03.2013 University of Heidelberg Second Call for Papers Geo together – GIScience connects is the motto under which participants from academia, private as well as public sectors meet from March 13th -­ 15th at the University of Heidelberg. The goal is to present results, discuss and exchange ideas about new developments, solutions for practical problems and research questions in the realm of digital geographical information. We cordially invite you to submit contributions for GEOINFORMATIK 2013. The three day event presents opportunities for researchers and field experts alike to inform themselves about the newest applications and to discuss future research directions. GEOINFORMATIK 2013 especially invites contributions for the following topics of interest: • sensors and humans as sensors • innovative GDI solutions • ubiquitous GI-­‐services • GI in 3D: acquisition, analysis and visualization • regenerative energies, the „energy turn“ and GI Apart from these, all other topics relevant to the GISc-­‐domain are welcome for submission. GEOINFORMATIK 2013 will offer a Science Track with presentations given in English for accepted research papers. A poster session will allow participants to present current works in progress, research ideas and last-­‐ minute results. A parallel Application Track offers practitioners from private and public sectors alike to present technologies and innovative applications. The talks will be given in German. The accompanying Trade Show enables direct exchange and presentation of relevant products and services. Consequently, there is a tailor-­‐made mode of publication and presentation for participants across the board: • Contributions from researchers (Science Track) (max. 10 pages) with unpublished results: The submitted papers will be peer-­‐reviewed according to a single-­‐blind process. Contributions are to be submitted in English and must abide by the formatting guidelines to be considered for publication. Selection criteria are relevance to the subject of the conference, originality, significance of results, clarity of presentation as well as text organization and use of language. Accepted papers will be presented orally at the conference and be published in the conference proceedings (with ISBN). • Contributions on innovative Applications (Application Track) (ca. 1-­‐2 pages): papers can be submitted either in German or English and will be accepted based on aspects of applicability, originality, and market relevance. Accepted contributions will be presented orally during the conference and published on the conference website.
