Tech Talks / Posters

This is a good opportunity for you and your organization to give a 10-minute talk at COM.Geo 2011 conference to demonstrate your work or share your vision and idea in a leading computing for geospatial community.

COM.Geo talk abstracts are read and cited worldwide. They have broad impact on the development of theory, method and practice in Computing for Geospatial fields. All accepted manuscripts appear in the COM.Geo Proceedings on Computing for Geospatial Research and Application, published by ACM, and in the ACM Digital Library for world distribution.

Each Tech Talk is required to submit an abstract. It will be reviewed by the conference committee and authors notified by e-mail. Authors must present accepted talk abstracts at the COM.Geo Conference.

Each Tech Talk will be up to 10 minutes. Conference Tech Talks are, but not limited to:

   Broad Talks
    A broad spectrum of presentations on recent achievements, new trends in all relevant areas between computing and geospatial

 ▪ Work in Progress

   Preliminary, partial, and innovative insights that are important but not fully developed. 

  Late-Breaking Research a & Emerging Technologies
   Some of the most impressive breakthroughs in computing and geospatial happen by considering the gaps and opportunities in the existing landscape - by adapting what we know to what might be

  Applications or Case Studies
    Applications or Case studies for government, industry, education, and so on.

  Development Techniques
    Practical ideas and techniques that solve real problems in research, development, and production community

Student Projects
Any creative, innovative, and/or practical students' course projects or research projects in the college or graduate school

 

A regular 300-word abstract or a 2-page extended abstract is required to submit to the conference for Tech Talks. The 2-page extended abstract gives an opportunity for the authors to provide more details for the readers as well as reviewers.
