In recent years, there are increasing demands from applications to store, process and manage geometric objects. Applications that use geometric objects include geographical information system (GIS), environmental management, urban planning, transportation, land use management, CAD-CAM, architecture science, visual perception and autonomous navigation, tracking and medical imaging. The GeoDBIS workshop tries to bring together researchers in the areas of data and information systems who work on aspects of geometric objects. In particular, the workshop seeks original contributions and practical experiences of modeling, managing and utilizing geometric objects in databases and information systems, fostering interdisciplinary discussions in all aspects of handling geometric objects in databases and information systems. Topics of research papers can be the following:

Spatial-temporal data modeling

Spatial services modeling

Spatial data infrastructures, interoperability, and standards

Spatial data mining and statistics

Spatial decision making

Semi-structured geometric data modeling and reasoning

Data-intensive geographic information systems

Geometric information integration in data and knowledge bases

Knowledge discovery in geometric data and information systems

Logical and mathematical foundations of semantics

Semantics in geo-spatial data-intensive applications

Semantic web and spatial data applications

Ontologies for spatial information systems

The workshop theme is linked to the main ADBIS conference, but more specific. Furthermore, as we intend to produce post-conference journal, it will give the opportunity to participants to contribute work that is still in progress to some degree. Furthermore, the workshop format puts more emphasis on discussions.

Submission

Authors are cordially invited to submit original research papers in PDF using the electronic submission system, which is available at

www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=geodbis2011

All initial submissions have to be in PDF format. The final submissions have to be in LaTeX format, alternatively in Rich Text Format (RTF). The paper must be formatted according to LNCS style, which can be found at the Springer LNCS website. The length of the final camera-ready version will be strictly limited to 16 pages in LNCS style; paper submissions should not exceed 18 pages using this style.

Simultaneous submission to any other conference, workshop or journal is strictly excluded. In case a double submission is discovered, the corresponding paper will immediately be rejected.

It is intended to publish the best accepted papers in a Springer LNCS workshop volume dedicated to ADBIS 2011. All other accepted papers of the workshop will be included in additional proceedings published in CEUR-Workshop proceedings. The targeted acceptance rate is 30 %.
