[AISWorld] ICIS 2016, CFP - SIGGIS Workshop: Analytics, Spatial Decision Making, Big Data

[Daniel Farkas]

Colleagues,

If your data or research has a spatial component (country, state, city, or
zip), consider submitting to the SIGGIS Workshop on  Analytics, Spatial
Decision Making, Big Data. Separate registration to the Pre-Conference
Workshop is possible.

LOCATIONAL ANALYTICS, SPATIAL DECISION MAKING
AND BIG DATA: RESEARCH AND TEACHING

Shannon Room, Marker Hotel
Grand Canal Square, Docklands

Dublin, Ireland
Sunday, December 11, 2016, 8:30am – 2:30pm

This workshop focuses on locational analytics, spatial decision-making, and
big data, starting with fundamentals and emphasizing emerging technology
topics including locational big data, 3-D modeling, space-time trend
analysis, geo-enabled smart phones, LIDAR, visualization, geo-design, and
applications. The keynote talk by a leader in GIS in Europe highlights the
emerging area of spatial analysis and decision-making in the European
context.  In the afternoon part of the workshop, contributed papers will be
presented on a variety of topics in GIS in business and government.

Sponsored by AIS’s Special Interest Group in Geographic Information Systems.
