[AISWorld] ICIS 2014 Attendees - GIS Workshop

[Daniel Farkas]

Explore how location based data (e.g., country, state, province, address
etc.), can inform your research.  Consider attending the SIGGIS pre-ICIS
Workshop on Geographic Information Systems.  GIS systems analyze spatial
data to provide unique perspectives and decision support to a broad
spectrum of applications including transportation, planning, real estate,
and marketing.



*Workshop on Geographic Information Systems*

*Pre-ICIS 2014, Auckland, New Zealand, Dec. 14, 2014*

*9am-2:30pm  at University of Auckland Business School*



This Workshop is supported by SIGGIS of the Association for Information
Systems.


Workshop Registration will be through the ICIS 2014 website (http//

*DESCRIPTION OF WORKSHOP*



GIS and its related phenomena are growing rapidly in this decade, energized
by pervasive cloud and mobile technologies and by competitive advantages.

This workshop will:

•      Explain fundamental spatial concepts.

•      Justify GIS’s importance in the IS discipline.

•      Explain role of geo-spatial analysis and intelligence for business &
government.

•      Provide connections with IS concepts

•      Explore existing research methods, body of published work, theories,
research questions, journal outlets.

•      Provide cutting-edge GIS research through *contributed papers* on
GIS, Locational Analytics, Spatial Reasoning, and Spatial Business
Intelligence.

 Since this area is expanding and becoming essential in business and
government, the workshop  can advance research in a new and evolving
sub-field within IS.



The Objectives are (1) Provide a tutorial on spatial concepts, and
locational analytics, (2) Examine and discuss research opportunities and
challenges in Geographic Information Systems and Spatial Analysis, as
related to the field of Information Systems (IS), and (3) Offer a forum for
presentation of contributed research papers on GIS and Spatial Analysis in
the context of IS/IT and organizations.



The morning session focuses on the tutorial, exploration and discussion of
research opportunities in spatial analytics and GIS.


In the afternoon session, the contributed research papers will be presented.
