International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIS)

The GIScience conference series has always had a focus on fundamental research themes and questions. Papers advancing the field methodologically or theoretically are encouraged; those strictly dealing with applications are discouraged. This year we are also particularly interested in efforts that are directly engaging with stakeholders and citizens to inform better policy formation and intervention, especially at different scales of decision making. We are also interested in advances in work that is focused on developing new methodologies for improving the toolset that computational modellers and analysts have at their disposal.

In addition to the above, themes include:

GIScience for managing and responding to crises
Visualisation of complex spatio-temporal data
Model validation and assessment
Uncertainty quantification in GIScience
Urban analytics
Landscape decisions: from the ground up
Reproducibility, transparency and openness in spatial analysis and spatial evidence creation
Approaches to connect and share (open source) data and models
Movement analysis
Agent-based modelling of spatial phenomena
Revealing, quantifying, and reducing socio-economic inequalities with GIScience
Using new forms of data in GIScience
Spatial optimization and location modelling.
