Minitrack: Spatial Business Intelligence, Decision Making, and Management

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial technologies are growing
rapidly in business and government.  Increasingly these applications
involve business intelligence (BI).  Although there is considerable
research on GIS technology and geographic information science, there has
been relatively little research in spatial decision making in business and
organizations.

This track seeks manuscripts that address conceptual theory, methodology,
applications, and cases on these topics.  The relevance to research is to
build up greater knowledge of the geo-spatial aspects of decision-making
and to develop theory and applications, sometimes building on well-known
concepts in the DSS field.  The mini-track will address the evolving areas
of GIS, GIScience, and related technologies such as RFID, imagery, and
sensors, and expanding spatial information. Since this area is rapidly
growing in business, the mini-track can shed light on a new and evolving
field. The mini-track findings, results, and discussions will also inform
the managers, strategic thinkers, and policy makers in many organizations
that are building, deploying, and managing applications in these areas.

 Potential topics:

   - Spatial business intelligence
   - Spatial decision support systems (SDSSs)
   - Spatial knowledge management
   - Management decision-making using GIS
   - Spatial data mining and knowledge discovery
   - Web-based GIS concepts and applications
   - Mobile-based GIS concepts and applications
   - Methodological papers
   - Theoretical papers
   - Case studies
   - Collaborative spatial decision-based systems
   - Studies of investment in and benefits of GIS, spatial BI, or SDSS
   - Human, organizational, and management factors in spatial systems
   - Quality measures and evaluation of spatial systems
   - Systems and software development of GIS
   - Public domain and open source GIS
   - Crowdsourcing and public domain sources of spatial information
   - Industry trends
   - International aspects of GIS-based decision-making
   - Ethical aspects of spatial decision-making
