GISTAM 2016 to Be Held in Rome

The second edition of the GISTAM conference (2nd International Conference on Geographical Information Systems Theory, Applications and Management) organised by INSTICC (Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication) will take place from 28-29 April 2016 in Rome, Italy.

The International Conference on Geographical Information Systems Theory, Applications and Management aims at creating a meeting point of researchers and practitioners that address new challenges in geo-spatial data sensing, observation, representation, processing, visualisation, sharing and managing, in all aspects concerning both information communication and technologies as well as management information systems and knowledge-based systems. The conference welcomes original papers of either practical or theoretical nature, presenting research or applications, of specialised or interdisciplinary nature, addressing any aspect of geographic information systems and technologies.

One of the most important contributions that GISTAM brings about is the creation of a high-level forum in collaboration with the most prestigious internationally recognised experts, including names such as Cédric Grueau (Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal/IPS, Portugal) as a conference chair, Jorge Gustavo Rocha (University of Minho, Portugal) as a program chair and Robert Laurini (INSA, University of Lyon, France) as a honorary chair. The event will have several invited keynote speakers, who are internationally recognised experts in their areas.
