The GeoINFO series of scientific conferences
is an annual forum for exploring ongoing research, development
and innovative applications on geographic information science
and related areas. Papers should describe original research,
ongoing (preferably) or recently completed and are
reviewed by an international scientific committee.
We specially encourage ongoing Master and PhD students to present their
work in the conference. By exposing their results (partial or final)
to the Workshop attendance, authors are likely to get back
valuable comments and suggestions, find potential users, partners,
or collaborators, avoid duplication of efforts, and increase
the community's interest for their line of work.
The attendants in turn gain a better view
of what is currently happening in the field, and a preview
of what could be the hot developments and research topics
a few years from now.
The GeoINFO conferences also aims to bring
to Brazil leading GIScience and spatial database researchers
to present to the local community a perspective of the state-of-the-art
in the area. Past speakers have included Max Egenhofer, Gary Hunter, Andrew Frank, Roger Bivand, Mike Worboys, Werner Kuhn, Stefano Spaccapietra, Ralf Güting, Shashi Shekhar, Christopher Jones, Martin Kulldorff, Dina Goldin and Andrea Rodriguez.
To celebrate the 10th aniversary of GeoINFO, the 2008 Symposim will be held again in Rio de Janeiro city, where the first GeoINFO happened.
