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. Abstracts and inquiries should be directed to: Professor Kurt Brassel Geographisches Institut Telephone: 0041-1-257 5151 Universitaet Zuerich Telefax: 0041-1-257 4004 Winterthurerstrasse 190 e-mail: K505820@CZHRZU1A.bitnet CH-8057 Zuerich, Switzerland
