This grant supports student activities at the 24th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems 2016 (ACM SIGSPATIAL 2016) that takes place October 31-November 3, 2016, in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA, USA (http://sigspatial2016.sigspatial.org). The ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS conference was originated in 1993 and has established itself as the world's premier conference to foster research in the areas of spatial data and analysis and geographic information systems (GIS). The conference provides a forum for original research contributions covering all aspects of GIS. The conference has attracted in excess of 300 participants in recent years, with a majority of the participants from the U.S., followed by Europe and Asia. The support will enable 25-30 U.S.-based graduate and undergraduate students to participate in the conference, fostering the intellectual stimulation of young minds to pursue advanced research and development activities in this area with significant technical and societal impact. Student focused activities include a Ph.D. symposium where graduate students present, discuss, and receive feedback on their research in a constructive atmosphere; a student research competition with separate tracks for undergraduate and graduate students; and a spatial computing competition, the SIGSPATIAL Cup, where teams focus on a specific technical problem. More generally, the students benefit greatly from attending conference sessions featuring current state-of-the-art results in the area of geospatial systems and applications, potentially making connections for research collaborations and research mentoring. Besides the technical program, the conference will feature workshops and demos. ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2016 will bring together researchers, students, and professionals interested in research, development, and deployment of solutions to spatial information handling and spatial knowledge extraction problems, including conceptual, design, and implementation issues ranging from applications, user interfaces, and visualization to storage management and indexing issues. Spatial data and applications pose novel research challenges in a wide variety of sub-areas, which include (but are not limited to), spatial information acquisition, modeling, data structures and algorithms, analysis, querying and integration, human-computer interaction and visualization, and systems and architectures. From these sub-areas deep research questions emerge that are motivated by a broad range of applications (e.g., emergency and crisis management, environmental monitoring, global positioning and location detection, geosciences, location-based and mobile services, navigation and route planning). A strong representation of U.S.-based students at ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS is key to maintaining U.S. competitiveness in important research areas crucial for U.S. infrastructure as well as applications that critically depend on geo-referenced information. Spatial data and analysis and geographic information systems contribute in a range of of societal contexts including: improving the lives of ordinary citizens through advanced transportation applications; increasing the security of the nation through better intelligence gathering using geospatial knowledge; and developing applications that will have a positive impact on the global environment.

该赠款支持学生活动2016年10月3日在美国加利福尼亚州旧金山湾区（http：//sigspatial2016.sigspatial.org）举行的2016年10月31日在2016年10月3日在2016年10月3日举行的2016年地理信息系统进步（ACM Sigspatial 2016）的学生活动。 ACM Sig -Spatial GIS会议起源于1993年，已成为全球首要会议，旨在促进空间数据和分析和地理信息系统（GIS）领域的研究。会议为涵盖GIS各个方面的原始研究贡献提供了一个论坛。近年来，该会议吸引了超过300名参与者，其中大多数来自美国的参与者，其次是欧洲和亚洲。这项支持将使25-30名美国的毕业生和本科生能够参加会议，从而促进年轻人的智力刺激，从而在该领域从事高级研发活动，并具有重大的技术和社会影响。以学生为中心的活动包括博士学位。研究生在建设性氛围中出席，讨论和收到有关他们研究的反馈的研讨会；一项学生研究竞赛，为本科生和研究生提供单独的曲目；还有一场空间计算竞赛，即sigspatial Cup，团队专注于特定的技术问题。更普遍的是，学生通过参加地理空间系统和应用领域的最新会议的会议从参加会议上受益匪浅，这有可能为研究合作和研究指导建立联系。除技术计划外，会议还将举办研讨会和演示。 ACM Sig -Spatial GIS 2016将汇集研究，学生和专业人员对空间信息处理和空间知识提取问题的研究，开发和部署感兴趣的解决方案，包括概念，设计和实施问题，包括应用程序，用户界面以及可视化以及存储管理和索引问题的应用，用户界面以及可视化问题。空间数据和应用在各种各样的子方面提出了新的研究挑战，其中包括（但不限于），空间信息获取，建模，数据结构和算法，分析，查询和整合，人类计算机的互动和可视化以及系统和系统和建筑。从这些次级研究中，出现了由广泛的应用程序（例如紧急和危机管理，环境监测，全球定位和位置检测，地球科学，基于位置和移动服务，导航和路线计划）引起的。在ACM Sigspatial GIS中，美国的学生的强烈代表是维持美国在美国基础设施至关重要的重要研究领域的竞争力以及非常依赖地理参考信息的应用。空间数据和分析以及地理信息系统在一系列社会背景下做出了贡献，包括：通过先进的运输应用改善普通公民的生活；通过使用地理空间知识进行更好的情报聚会来提高国家的安全；以及将对全球环境产生积极影响的开发应用程序。
