GIScience Conference LaunchedGIScience 2000, the first international conference on geographic information science (GIScience), will be held October 28-31, 2000, in Savannah, Georgia. GIScience 2000 will focus on emerging topics and basic research findings across all sectors of GIScience. The conference sponsors are the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis, the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science, and the Association of American Geographers. These organizations felt that the maturing field of GIScience needed a unifying research conference series that would bring together scientists from academia, industry, and government to analyze progress and explore new research directions. The conference program aims to attract leading GIScience researchers from all fields to reflect the interdisciplinary breadth of GIScience, including cognitive science, computer science, engineering, geography, information science, mathematics, philosophy, psychology, social science, and statistics. The conference is being held at the Savannah Marriott Riverfront. For more information, visit www.giscience.org or send an e-mail to GIScience2000@giscience.org. |
