The joint GSDI 13 World Conference, GEOIDE Annual Scientific Conference and Canadian Geomatics Conference offers numerous opportunities for oral presentations and refereed and non-refereed publication outlets. The joint conference invites presentations covering the full range of practice, development and research experiences that advance the practice and theory of spatially enabling government, industry and citizens. Consult the suggested Conference Topics.
The submissions accepted through this call for abstracts and papers will be orally presented in the parallel session tracks shown in the Program Overview.
This call supports three primary forms of publication:
(1) a normal conference proceedings with abstracts and full non-refereed and refereed articles published on a CD or USB drive and archived on the web,
(2) a pre-conference published book of fully refereed articles titled “Spatially Enabling Government, Industry and Citizens: Research and Development Perspectives” to be distributed to all conference participants and archived on the web, and
(3) a pre-conference selection of articles for publication in the International Journal of Spatial Data Infrastructures Research (IJSDIR) to be selected, refereed, revised and published prior to and in affiliation with the conference.
In addition, two separate calls arising from the joint conference are being issued for chapter submissions to two additional books:
(1) “The Added Value of Scientific Networking: GEOIDE Network Experiences” (call for chapters) to be distributed to all conference participants, and
(2) “3DGeo Info Conference Proceedings” (Springer) (call for papers) to be mailed after the conference to all 3DGeo Conference participants (a single track on Wednesday and Thursday).
