------------------------

GI Zeitgeist 2012 will be a conference for young researchers worldwide 
to get together and present their work in the field of Geographic 
Information Science. It will be a forum for researchers from diverse 
disciplines such as computer science, geography, cognitive science, 
mathematics, environmental science and artificial intelligence working 
on related topics to interact and find possibilities for collaboration. 
The topics addressed include but are not limited to:

     * Analysis of spatial and spatio-temporal data
     * Uncertainty and error propagation in geospatial information
     * Development of open standards and services
     * Aggregation and generalization of sensor data
     * Service orchestration and geoprocessing workflows
     * Wayfinding and navigation
     * Location-based services and ubiquitous computing
     * Human-computer interaction for geospatial information
     * Spatial data infrastructures
     * Semantic integration of geospatial information
     * Linked geodata
     * Representation of geospatial information
     * Visualization of geospatial information
     * Volunteered geographic information
     * Spatial cognition
     * Spatial reasoning techniques
     * Applications of qualitative spatial reasoning in GIS

Authors are invited to submit original research, not being considered 
for publication elsewhere. Short papers (max 1500 words) can be 
submitted to present visionary ideas, work in progress and preliminary 
research results, whereas full papers (max 5000 words, and not more than 
10 pages) should present substantial results. All papers will be 
reviewed by at least two members of the scientific committee and all 
accepted papers will be presented at the conference. Full papers will be 
published in the IfGI Prints series (with ISBN) by the Akademische 
Verlagsgesellschaft AKA GmbH, Heidelberg. The authors of the best full 
papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their work for a 
special issue in a geographic information science journal.
