Panels

Panels should be proposed by expects in computing and geospatial areas. A Panels Program will address emerging, controversial and critical issues in computing for geospatial research and application that are likely to have impact on the field and lead to exciting discussions and debates. We encourage panels that involve industry, academic and government participants. Topics might be any frontier research or frontier applications of Computing for Geospatial. One panel takes around 30 minutes.

A prospective panel organizer should submit a proposal to Conference Chair, including:
▪ Title of the panel
▪ A 300-word abstract of the panel (i.e. the topic and issues to be discussed in the panel)
▪ Name, affiliation, and contact information for the panel organizer
▪ Names and affiliations of 3-4 panelists (in addition to the panel organizer)
▪ Short bios of each participant

 

Panels+

Panels+ is an extended Panels program, in combination with Tech Talks and Panels, first introduced at the COM.Geo conference. In a Panel+, the open discussion and debates will be followed with several panelists' Tech Talks with demos. The length of the Panel+ is no more than 90 minutes. A prospective Panel+ organizer should submit a regular panel proposal as above and several talk abstracts as required in Tech Talks program.

 

All accepted Panel / Panel+ abstracts will be published by ACM in the conference proceedings and distributed in ACM Digital Library. Final camera-ready submissions should be up to 300-word abstracts and adhere to the abstract-only formatting guide. The ACM copyright form will be provided for the accepted abstracts for publication.

Please check Important Dates for submission and submit your work to conference (AT) com-geo.org.
