[AISWorld] SIG Geographic Information Systems End-of-semester/pre-AMCIS news

[Daniel Farkas]

Hi,


This end of semester (pre-AMCIS) note is from the Special Interest Group on
Geographic Information Systems (SIGGIS).


There are 4 SIG events/activities to note for the AMCIS 2011 in Detroit:


1. There will be SIG business meeting on Friday, August 5 at 6pm.  For those
attending AMCIS, there should be a way to indicate your attendance on the
Registration Form.  I’ll send more details when we get closer to the date.  New
members are welcome!


2. Look for a Mini-track on Spatial Business Intelligence.  One of the SIG’s
goals is be to broaden and encourage research on spatial related topics
(there are many).


3. The will be SIG sponsored panel titled  *Research Directions in Spatial
Business Intelligence: Place, Space, and Decision Support* on Saturday,
August 6.  The SIGGIS panel members members are Jim Pick (University of
Redlands), Brian Mennecke (Iowa State), Namchul Shin (Pace Universaty).


4. There will be introductory hands-on workshop on GIS (bring a laptop)
1:30pm-5:00pm on Friday, August 4.  There should be a way to register during
the AMCIS registration process.


If you are interested in GIS and spatial analysis, consider joining the SIG
(through the AIS website) and joining the listserv (send a blank email with
the subject *subscribe* to *siggis-request at lists.aisnet.org*)
