                        Call for Papers
 
       4th International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling
       ----------------------------------------------------
 
                       July 23-27, 1990
                      Zurich, Switzerland
 
 
The 4th International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling will be held at
the University of Zurich, Switzerland. As its predecessors this
interdisciplinary meeting is sponsored by the Commission on Geographic
Information Systems of the International Geographical Union and will
emphasize research issues rather than applications. The conference will
focus on the following topics:
 
   - Algorithms and data models for applications in
            computational geometry
            spatial knowledge representation
            spatial decision analysis
            automatic recognition of spatial structures
            digital surface modelling
            handling and representation of space-time data
            cartographic visualization and generalization
   - Spatial languages and user interfaces
   - System design and architectures for data integration
   - Amplified intelligence concepts for spatial data handling
   - Spatial data handling approaches for alternative system
     architectures (neural nets, parallel processing).
 
 
The official language of the meeting will be English. The conference
will consist of sessions with presentations of approx. 20 minutes; a few
selected papers of special merit will be given 30 minutes of time and
will be the subject of prepared discussion. Researchers are invited to
submit abstracts of 500-700 words length to the organizing committee no
later than October 1, 1989. Abstracts must carry the full name and
mailing address of the author(s), and possibly an electronic mail
address. The abstracts will be evaluated by an international program
committee. Persons submitting abstracts will be notified of the decision
of the committee no later than December 15, 1989 and final papers will
be required in camera-ready form no later than April 1, 1990. The number
of participants to the conference will be restricted; active
participants will be given priority.
