  Questions & notes: Do we plan to have the proceedings 1) ready for the conference or 2) to be published after the conference? If option 2), we can postpone the

  deadlines. Are the authors required to submit an abstract on June 1st through the FOSS4G 2009 online system? I think this 1st deadline would be too short ... but
 
−
  the submission of abstracts will help us to know how many people are interested to participate to the academic track. Can we consider a later deadline for abstract

  submission, e.g. July 01, 2009? In many conferences, registration to the conference is mandatory so that an author has his/her paper published in the proceedings.
 
−
  Do we require from all authors to be registered before we include the paper in the track programme and proceedings?

The submitted papers will be thoroughly reviewed by two to three members of the international scientific committee and refereed for their quality, originality and relevance. The proceedings are expected to be published by a reputed editor as a new issue of a wellknown book series or as a special issue of a journal. The scientific committee of the academic track is currently investigating different options. As soon as we get an agreement, we will announce the selected publication.

Call for research papers

Aims and scope

The FOSS4G 2009 academic track aims at bringing together researchers, developers, users and practitioners carrying out research and development in the geospatial and the free and open source fields and willing to share original and recent research developments and experiences.

The academic track will act as an inventory of current research topics, but the major goal is to promote cooperative research between OSGeo developers and the academia. The academic track is the right forum to highlight the most important research challenges and trends in the domain, and let them became the basis for an informal OSGeo research agenda. It will foster interdisciplinary discussions in all aspects of the geospatial and free and open source domains. It will be organized in a way to promote networking between the participants, to initiate and favour discussions regarding cutting-edge technologies in the field, to exchange research ideas and to promote international collaboration.

Topics of interest

We invite submissions that address theoretical, technical, and practical topics of related to geospatial free and open source domain. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to the following:

  • State of the Art developments in Open Source GIS
  • Open Source GIS in Education
  • Open architectures, open content, open specifications
  • Interoperability and standards - OGC, ISO/TC 211
  • Metadata, Spatial Data Infrastructures and Service Oriented Architectures
  • Geospatial databases and data warehouses with free and open source software
  • Maintenance and evolution of databases and data warehouses
  • Active/Real-Time databases and data warehouses
  • Free and open source WebMapping and WebGIS
  • Free and Open Source GIS application use cases : Government, Participatory GIS, Location based services, Health, Energy, Water, Urban and Environmental Planning, Climate change, etc.

  • Spatial OLAP and geo-analytical technologies
  • Data mining and geospatial search engines
  • Frameworks for Business Process Management (BPM), Business Intelligence (BI)
  • Data visualization, visual languages and querying
  • Sensor Web enablement
  • Quality assessment
  • Analysis, testing, performance tuning and benchmarking
  • Cartography and advanced styling
  • Earth Observation and remote sensing
  • Geospatial semantics aspects: semantics and ontology
  • Spatial and Spatio-temporal data, analysis and integration
  • Sustainable Development and Governance
  • Security and privacy issues
  • Mobile objects and trajectories analyses
  • Mobile and context aware applications
  • Personalization and user requirements analysis

  2. 29 June 2009 (23:59:59 UTC/GMT) - Full paper due
  3. 20 July 2009 - Notification of acceptance

Submission guidelines

All submissions to the academic track must be original unpublished work written in English that is currently not under review elsewhere. Papers should not exceed the 6000 words limit. Authors must submit full papers according to the Springer formatting guidelines. Manuscripts not submitted in the provided style or having more than 6000 words will not be reviewed and thus will be automatically rejected.

The templates (Latex or Word template) for preparing full papers can be downloaded here:

Nevertheless, full papers must be submitted in PDF file format! In addition, in order to allow a blind peer review process, authors names and affiliations must be provided on a separate page.

The submitted papers will be thoroughly reviewed by two to three members of the international scientific committee and refereed for their quality, originality and relevance. The proceedings are expected to be published by a reputed editor as a new issue of a wellknown book series or as a special issue of a journal. The scientific committee of the academic track is currently investigating different options. As soon as we get an agreement, we will announce the selected publication.

Submission to the track will be electronically only. Authors are asked to submit an abstract first (up to 500 words) through the online submission system provided on the FOSS4G 2009 web site (http://2009.foss4g.org). Please, take care to check the box right after the place where you enter your abstract for your submission to be considered for the academic track!

Submissions are closed. 

 Clarifications on the selection process:
  
 To minimise the risk for people who submit an abstract to the academic track to not be able to present their work even in 
 the general track, the selection process has slightly been modified:
 
 1) Abstracts submitted to the academic track will be included in the list of abstracts to be voted on.
 2) As initialy planed, authors who submitted an abstract to the academic track should submit their full paper for review 
    and selection by the scientific committee of the academic track.
 
    a) If the paper is selected, presentation will be done in the academic track and the paper be considered for publication.
    b) If the paper is not selected but the abstract selected by the public vote, the presentation will be done in the general 
       track.
    c) If the paper and the abstract are not selected, no presentation will be performed.
