14th AGILE Conference on Geographic Information Science
18‐21 April 2011
Utrecht, The Netherlands
 
Call for Papers
 
On behalf of the AGILE council, we would like to invite you to
participate at the 14th AGILE International Conference on Geographic
Information Science, scheduled to take place in Utrecht, The
Netherlands. The program will offer parallel paper presentation
sessions, keynote sessions, poster sessions and pre‐conference
workshops to share your ideas, explore on‐going research, future
developments, including state‐of‐the‐art applications, and to
network with the professionals from academia, industry, and government
who are interested in promoting GI teaching and research activities
among GI laboratories at the European level.
 
Potential contributors are invited to submit:
 
Ø      Full paper submission (maximum 6000‐word manuscript) of
original and unpublished fundamental scientific research. High‐quality
scientific submissions will be accepted for presentation at the
conference and published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Geoinformation
and Cartography. We especially encourage PhD students to submit full
papers. Papers must be written in English according to the Springer
formatting guidelines.
 
Note: AGILE 2011 is running a double-blind review process. In preparing
your manuscript, do not include any information which could reveal your
identity, or that of your co‐authors. The title section of your
manuscript should not contain any author names, email addresses, or
affiliation status. In the body of your submission, you should eliminate
all direct references to your own previous work. That is, avoid phrases
such as "this contribution generalizes our results for XYZ". Also,
please do not disproportionately cite your own previous work. In other
words, make your submission as anonymous as possible. We need your
cooperation in our effort to maintain a fair, double-blind reviewing
process.
 
Ø      Short paper submission (2000 to 3000‐word manuscript) of
original and unpublished research work. High‐quality scientific and
strategic (industrial and governmental) submissions will be accepted for
presentation at the conference and published in the AGILE proceedings.
Papers must be written in English according to the submission template
and formatting guidelines.
 
Ø      Poster submission (500 to 1000‐word manuscript) of original
scientific and strategic research work. High‐quality submissions will
be accepted for poster presentations at the conference and provide the
exceptional opportunity to stimulate scientific discussions and exchange
novel ideas. Papers must be written in English according to the
submission template and formatting guidelines.
 
Authors’ instructions will be made available after July 1st at
www.uu.nl/geo/agile2011. All submissions must be sent electronically via
the on‐line conference manager.
