Overview
The development of efficient analytical tools in Geographic Information Systems is increasingly dependent on effective data representation and appropriate statistical techniques. Topical research areas include data models, statistical and mathematical tools, to space-time and multidimensional spaces. Applications of such tools and concepts range from environmental and marine, to urban and regional applications, and extend to non traditional spaces analyzed using geographical metaphors (GIS analysis of the human body is but one example of the latter). The scope of the proposed session is to bring together the latest contributions and to stimulate discussion that focuses on computational developments and their applications.
Some Topics of Interest: suggested, but not limited to:
* Spatial Analysis
* Data Models
* Representation
* Spatial Analysis Applications
* Computational Developments in GIS
* Spatial Analysis and GIS integration

GIScience 2004
Third International Conference on Geographic Information Science
University of Maryland Conference Center
College Park Campus, Maryland, USA
October 20-23, 2004
http://www.giscience.org
GIScience 2004 is the follow-up meeting to the highly successful GIScience 2000 and 2002 conferences. At each of the previous conferences in the series approximately 150 papers were selected for presentation from among a large international pool of submissions. GIScience 2004 will again bring together scientists from academia, industry, and government to analyze progress and to explore new research directions. It will focus on emerging topics and basic research findings across all sectors of geographic information science. 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 will be held at the conference center of the University of Maryland's College Park campus, within the Washington, DC metropolitan area and accessible from the Washington Metro and several major airports. Full details are available at http://www.giscience.org.
We solicit research papers in all areas of geographic information science. Since GIScience 2004 focuses on advances in the fundamentals of geographic information science, submission of GIS application papers is discouraged. To accommodate the variety of papers and presentations that result from an interdisciplinary melting pot, GIScience 2004 will give authors choices about the type of submission they wish to make.
* Full papers, consisting of 5,000-word manuscripts, will be thoroughly reviewed. Manuscripts must describe original work that has not been published before nor is currently under review elsewhere. Papers must be written in English, in 12-point type, and double-spaced. All submissions will be reviewed by three members of the international program committee, and high-quality submissions will be accepted for presentation at the conference and will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Full papers must be submitted by April 12, 2004.
* Extended abstracts of 500-1000 words, describing work in progress, will be screened by the program committee, and those submissions selected will be published in a booklet and be presented at the conference. Extended abstracts must be written in English, in 12-point type, and double-spaced. Extended abstracts will be received until June 28, 2004.
All submissions (full papers and extended abstracts) must be sent electronically to papers@giscience.org. Material can be submitted as PDF files or Microsoft Word files.
Important Dates
* Apr 12, 2004: Full papers due
* May 31, 2004: Review results of full papers transmitted to authors
* June 28, 2004: Extended abstracts due
* July 5, 2004: Camera-ready versions of accepted full papers due
* October 20-23, 2004: Conference

ISICT 04 International Symposium on Information and Communication Technologies
Las Vegas, Nevada.
June 16th-18th, 2004
The purpose of ISICT 04 is to provide an international forum for discussion between theoreticians and practitioners and to promote an inter disciplinary exchange of research ideas. We invite papers exploring all aspects of Computer and Communication Technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Computer Science
* Information Technology and Systems
* Communication Technology
* Networks, Control Systems
* Image, Acoustic, Speech and Signal Processing
* Experience and Applications
There are two principal modes of paper submission:
MODE I : Invited Workshop Organization
To chair and organize a workshop at ISICT 04 send an email toworkshops@isict.org with the title, a description of the topic of your proposed workshop up to two hundred words in length, and the name(s)of the workshop organizer(s) and chair(s) as soon as possible and before 15 January 2004.

The Venue
Shimmering from the desert haze of Nevada, Las Vegas is the most dynamic, spectacular city on earth. At the start of the twentieth century it didn't even exist and now it's home to over a million people. No other city in history has explicitly valued the needs of visitors over its own population. Thirty seven million come to Las Vegas each year. The majority of the worlds largest hotels are here - extraordinary places, self contained fantasy lands that can stretch as much as a mile from end to end. Each holds its own flamboyant permutation of showrooms and swimming pools, luxurious guest quarters and restaurants, high tech rides and attractions.

Brown Bag Lunch
Wednesday Nov 5th at 12:00 noon in GISC Conference Room, 401B Wurster Hall
Mark Spencer
Dept. Environmental Science Policy and Management U.C. Berkeley.
Title: "Utilizing GIS to develop a Stand Level Predictive Model of Sudden Oak Death (SOD) Symptoms in Coastal Redwood/Tanoak Forests"
This talk will be introducing the study and going through the process of developing a nominal logistic model to predict the appearance of SOD symptoms in Tanoaks. The talk will focus on the utility of a GIS both for developing spatial parameters and for visually assessing the effectiveness of the model.
