GeoVis 2011 is an ICA workshop on integrating computational techniques for analyzing and modeling geospatial information with visual methods for their depiction, interaction and analysis in Hamburg in March 2011. From the workshop's website: "It is geospatial knowledge, in forms of patterns, structures, relationships, and rules, rather than the assembly of spatial information, that can significantly contribute to solving real world problems. [...] There is the need to link computational methods with interactive maps and cartographic techniques to support analysis of complex, voluminous and heterogeneous information involving measurements made in space and time." The preliminary programm (PDF) looks interesting albeit the audience seems to be from geography and cartography demain mostly, spatial cognition is underrepresented. Yet, I will be there, I guess.
COSIT is THE premier conference on cognitive sciences, with a widespread spectrum and some audience with special interest in spatial cognition: "The Conference looks for significant contributions to all major fields of the Computer Science and Information Technology in theoretical and practical aspects. The aim of the conference is to provide a platform to the researchers and practitioners from both academia as well as industry to meet and share cutting-edge development in the field." The 2011 conference will be held in Belfast - not that one in Northern Ireland but the one in Maine, USA. The call for papers has just been sent out, submissions for tutorials and workshops are due by the end of January. I would like to submit a workshop or some form of interaction forum, maybe a planary discussion on questions about supporting disabled people with personalized GIS products and what we can learn from that reason for other audiences. If someone would like to take part, get back to me!
