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.

   After ten yearly editions, from 1999 to 2008, GeoINFO took a sabbatical break in 2009 and returns in 2010 with renewed energy. The characteristics that were present throughout the event's history remain the same, namely the high quality of submissions, the excellent level of discussions, and the presence of highly regarded keynote speakers. Furthermore, GeoInfo 2010 will take place in the friendly atmosphere of Campos do Jordao, Sao Paulo, site of many memorable editions, from November 28 to December 01 2010.
