First GISTAM Conference Announced

The first edition of the GISTAM conference (International Conference on Geographical Information Systems Theory, Applications and Management) organised by INSTICC (Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication) will take place from 28-30 April 2015 in Barcelona, Spain.

GISTAM 2015 aims to create an international meeting point of researchers and practitioners coming from all continents in the world, to address new challenges in geospatial data sensing, observation, representation, processing, visualisation, sharing and managing, in all aspects concerning both information communication and technologies (ICT) as well as management information systems and knowledge-based systems. The conference welcomes original papers of either practical or theoretical nature, presenting research or applications, of specialised or interdisciplinary nature, addressing any aspect of geographic information systems and technologies.

One of the most important contributions that GISTAM brings about is the creation of a high-level forum with the presence of some of the most prestigious internationally recognised experts, including names such as Dr Robert Laurini (INSA, University of Lyon, France), Dr José Bioucas Dias (Telecommunications Institute, Portugal) and Dr Jordi Corbera (Institute of Catalonia, Spain). Each will deliver a keynote lecture reflecting their knowledge on data acquisition and processing; remote sensing; modelling, representation and management and domain applications.
