Technical Commission II mid-term symposium
Hong Kong, 26-28 May 2010

The mid-term commission symposium will be organised as part of the Joint International Conference on Theory, Data Handling and Modelling of Geospatial Information Science. Further details on the conference website http://isgis.lsgi.polyu.edu.hk/index.html

Our mission:

Technical Commission II addresses fundamental issues of spatial data handling and geographic information science. This includes principles of spatio-temporal modeling, multiple representations of spatial data, spatial reasoning, analysis, and data mining, spatial planning and decision support systems, communication and visualization, systems integration as well as quality aspects of spatial data handling.

Terms of Reference:

• Fundamentals of spatial database design, spatial data structures, spatial analysis and geostatistics, spatial querying, spatial reasoning, spatial and temporal modeling
• Aggregation, generalization, abstraction and rendering of image and vector data
• Spatial decision support systems
• Processing, analysis and modeling of multi-dimensional geospatial data
• System integration and modeling aspects for data and geoinformation processing
• Interoperability of heterogeneous spatial information systems
• Semantic and geometric integration of heterogeneous spatial information
• Communication and visualization of spatial data
• Data mining, filtering, retrieval and dissemination
• Spatial data quality and spatial model quality
