This international symposium, jointly sponsored by the German and Swiss Computer Societies (GI, SI), will be held at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. Like the previous one, it is intended as a forum for leading researchers and practitioners in the area of spatial data management. Cooperation with ACM SIGMOD and the IEEE Computer Society is being requested. We invite submissions of papers presenting original research on spatial data management. Topics include (but are not limited to): Spatial Data Models and Data Structures Representation of Spatial Objects Mappings between Data Representations Spatial Expert Systems Spatial Reasoning Spatial Languages Spatial Access Methods Embedding of Spatial Structures into Database Systems Query Optimization and Transaction Management for Spatial Databases Geographic Applications Data Management for Remote Sensing Environmental Information Systems Representation of Sparse Data Sets Hardware Architectures Contributors are invited to send four copies of their manuscript to the Program Chair by February 25, 1991. Manuscripts should be in English with no more than 20 pages or 5000 words. Notification of acceptance will be mailed by May 1, 1991, and camera-ready copies will be due June 10, 1991. The proceedings, which will be published by Springer-Verlag, will be available at the symposium. General Chair: Hans-J.
