==============================================

1st International Workshop on Geospatial Data Processing for Tourist
Applications 2017 (GeoTour'2017) 

==============================================

Held in conjunction with the ADBIS 2017

 

Topic: Geospatial Data Processing for Tourist Applications

Venue: Hilton Cyprus Hotel, Nicosia, Cyprus

Date: September 24, 2017

The proliferation of mobile location-aware devices (e.g., smart-phones,
tablets, GPS devices, wearable devices) and the unprecedented growth of
location-aware social networks create unique challenges and opportunities
for touristic applications, e.g., trip planning, mobile tour guides, digital
storytelling etc. The ever-growing mentality of sharing for the greater good
(crowdsourcing, collaborative and volunteered information) has resulted to
tremendous amounts of urban information produced and shared by modern users;
such data describe, enrich and even evaluate human activities ranging for
everyday tasks to special occasions. A plethora of techniques, research
works and naturally commercial tools have been proposed to support touristic
applications by a wide range of disciplines, e.g., spatial-temporal data
management, recommender systems, transportation networks or even operational
research; however, in most cases these results were presented in
domain-specific venues whic!

h limits their visibility.

 

In this context, the goal of GeoTour is twofold. First, the workshop will
bring together researchers from multiple communities acting as a unique
forum to discuss in depth and collect feedback about the challenges,
opportunities, novel techniques and case-studies of trip planning for
touristic applications, and hopefully, initiate potential cross-discipline
collaborations. Second, there will be a special focus on how modern data and
technologies can enhance existing trip planning services or pave the path
for new.

 

We solicit original contributions addressing the following non-comprehensive
list of topics:

 

              * Route planning on transportation networks

              * Intelligent transportation systems

              * Location-aware recommender systems

              * Personalized route planning

              * Itinerary planning

              * Data analytics for touristic applications

              * Traffic monitoring and analysis

              * Spatio-temporal query processing

              * Mobility management for touristic applications

              * Crowdsourcing for touristic applications

              * Location-based Social Networks

              * Case studies of real-world implementations

 

Submissions should present original results and substantial new work not
currently under review or published elsewhere. This workshop accepts regular
research papers (up to 10 pages) and short papers (up to 6 pages). Papers
must comply with the Springer formatting guidelines (instructions for
authors are available at
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-12-73062-0). Papers should
be submitted in PDF format using the online submission system
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=geotour17. The best workshop papers
will be invited to a special section of the International Journal of Applied
Mathematics and Computer Science (AMCS).
