COM.Geo papers are read and cited worldwide. They have broad impact on the development of theory, method and practice in computing for geospatial fields. Accepted manuscripts appear in the COM.Geo Proceedings on Computing for Geospatial Research and Application, published with IEEE and appear in IEEE Xplore Digital Library and IEEE Computer Society Digitial Library (CSDL) for world distribution.
Papers will be peer-reviewed and authors notified by e-mail (3-5 reviews for a full paper, 1-3 reviews for a short paper, and 1-2 reviews for a briefing paper). Authors must present accepted papers at the COM.Geo conference.
▪ Regular Papers ( 6-8 pages, 25 minutes of complete presentation with Q&A)
Full Papers present significant contributions to research and practice in all aspects of Computing for Geospatial. These include mainly accomplished research and/or application results and have 8 pages at the maximum. They can be either research papers or application papers.
▪ Short Papers ( 4-5 pages, 20 minutes of presentation with Q&A)
Short Papers present brief and focused research or application contributions that are noteworthy but may not merit a full paper. These are mostly composed of short, narrowly-focused research or application papers. Besides, these can be fresh developments, applications or case studies, latest-breaking research ,emerging technologies, non-traditional approach, or some novel ideas and elegant results that are perhaps too small for the heavyweight full paper but that are nonetheless of significant use to practitioners.
▪ Briefing Papers ( 2 pages, 10-12 minutes of presentation with Q&A)
Briefing Papers present a
broad spectrum of presentations on recent achievements,
new trends in all relevant areas, work in Progress
(preliminary, partial, and innovative insights that are
important but not fully developed), late-breaking research,
emerging technologies, applications or
case studies, development techniques, and student projects.
A poster is an option for a paper. You can also participate in the poster session at the conference. If you would like to participate in both, please submit your paper abstract separately for Posters. For more details, please go to Poster webpage.
