AutoCarto 2012

CaGIS is pleased to announce AutoCarto 2012, an international research symposium on computer-based cartography. The nineteenth in the AutoCarto series, the symposium will be held in Columbus, Ohio on September 16-18, 2012 immediately prior to the GIScience 2012 meeting (also in Columbus). Join us in September 2012 at this exciting conference to explore new research and innovation in cartography and geographic information science.

CaGIS invites cartographers, geographers, geospatial analysts, GIScientists and others conducting research on the cutting edge of the geospatial sciences to participate.

Topics will include:

Geovisualization
Geospatial modeling
Visual analytics
Web-based cartography
Information architecture for web mapping
Data integration
Mobile mapping and GIS, location-based services, and ubiquitous mapping
Volunteered geographic information and crowd sourcing
The geospatial semantic web
Cartographic and geospatial ontologies
3-dimensional mapping
Geospatial open source, interoperability and source integration
Generalization
Spatio-temporal GIS and dynamic maps
National and regional paper and digital atlases
Geospatial data models and spatial data mining
Map use and design
Spatial cognition and spatialization
Discrete global grids, coordinate systems for geospatial data, and map projections

There will be several ICA Commission Meetings on Sunday before the conference starts.

A Workshop on Designing and conducting User Studies will be jointly sponsored by the Commission on Cognitive Visualization and the Commission on Use and User Issues.

A Workshop on Internet and Geospatial Technologies will be held by the Commission on Maps and the Internet and the Commission on Open Source Geospatial Technologies.

A meeting will be held by the Working Group on the International Map Year.

If you are attending one of the these meetings, please indicate on the registration form.

Sponsorship Opportunities

While AutoCarto 2012 is not planning for exhibits, we do have a role for sponsors of our work.

We are accepting sponsorship at three levels of gold, silver, and bronze or $5,000, $2,000, and $500.

The gold level supports our major social functions and provides recognition at the function plus the largest ad in the program.

The silver level of support helps with refreshments for a break period or a breakfast and entitles the sponsor to signage at the event, an ad in the program, and inclusion of handout material in the participants package.

The bronze level sponsorship includes signage recognition at registration as for all levels, an ad in the program and inclusion of handout material in the participant's package.

Please contact Eric Anderson directly for more information (cagisxd@gmail.com; 843-324-0665).
