AIMS AND SCOPE
Recent advances in wireless Internet and location-based services have generated increasing interest in the diffusion and processing of large volumes of geospatial data. Then, new challenges and opportunities have appeared in the GIScience research community. This symposium provides an up-to-date review of advances in both theoretical and technical development of Web and Wireless Geographical Information Systems (W2GIS). It is the 22nd in a series of events alternating locations between East Asia, Europe and America.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The integration of artificial intelligence, big data, and social networks within GIS presents new opportunities for urban planning, transportation, and sustainability. However, these advancements also bring significant research challenges, spanning a wide range of methodological, conceptual, and computational issues. As the conference takes place for the first time in Mexico City and Central America, a key focus is to explore how GIScience, combined with these technologies, can address emerging environmental problems in urban contexts, particularly in relation to sustainable development goals. Topics to be addressed include, but are not limited to:
- Geospatial databases and spatio-temporal data management.
- Mobile spatial interaction and movement analysis.
- Spatial search, GeoWeb search engines and services.
- Location-based social networks.
- Spatial social networks.
- On-line spatial data mining.
- GeoSensor data acquisition, processing, management and analysis.
- Smart environments, Internet of Things and ambient spatial intelligence.
- Exploratory cartography and Web and wireless geo interfaces.
- GIS visualization techniques for Web and mobile location-based applications.
- Cyber-geography & augmented reality.
- Map personalization and adaptation.
- 3D modelling of cityscapes for location-based services.
- Ubiquitous and wireless GIS.
- Security, privacy, and usability issues of Web and wireless environments.
- Semantic geospatial Web and interoperability.
- User studies and evaluations of online geoservices.
- Indoor and outdoor wayfinding and navigation.
- Crowdsourcing and volunteered geographic information.
- Telematics, GIS and location-based applications.
- LBS and transportation applications.
- Wireless-based location-aware applications.
- Integration of AI and LLMs.
SUBMISSIONS
We invite papers in the form of three types of contributions:
-
