(SIGGIS) pre-ICIS Workshop to focus on Locational Analytics and Big Data,
and then continue on for ICIS Conference, Dec. 14-16 in Fort Worth, Texas!

The Workshop on Locational Analytics and Big Data: Foundations, Emerging
Applications, and Research will be held in Fort Worth, Texas, USA, on

workshops for the past two years at the AMCIS and ICIS conferences, and
minitracks at AMCIS for four years.

All papers accepted after a blinded peer review process will be published
in the conference proceedings online. Authors of accepted papers will have
the opportunity to make revisions prior to submitting a final version.
Selected
papers that are related to national development will be fast-tracked for
possible publication in the journal, *Information Technology for
Development*.

You are invited to submit empirical, conceptual, or case study papers (case
studies) in any of the broad areas of geographic information systems,
locational analytics and big data, and spatial applications.

Deadline for submissions: October 4, 2015.  Author notification date:
October 26, 2015. Author revisions due date: November 14, 2015. Author
registration due date: November 21 2015, which is done through the ICIS

Research papers must be original, unpublished elsewhere, in the style of
ICIS, and must be at least 3500 words in length, but should be no longer
than 6000 words and the full paper must include an abstract (150 word max).

All papers are to be submitted by e-mailing the manuscript in .doc format,
or .pdf format (for papers over 10 MB) to james_pick at redlands.edu .
