Student Travel Grant for 2018 ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems

该奖项为美国提供支持-基于学生参加第26届ACM SIGSPATIAL国际会议在地理信息系统的进展，11月6日至9日，2018年在西雅图，华盛顿州。ACM SIGSPATIAL会议是世界上首屈一指的空间信息和地理信息系统研究会议。会议汇集了研究人员，开发人员，用户和从业人员，他们在基于地理空间数据和知识的新型系统中进行研究和开发，并在广泛的学科和应用中促进跨学科的讨论和研究，包括计算机科学，地理学，城市规划，土地使用和国防。ACM SIGSPATIAL会议旨在支持代表性不足的学生，特别是促进空间信息和地理信息系统重要领域的新一代研究人员和从业人员的发展。2018年ACM SIGSPATIAL地理信息系统进展国际会议是1993年开始的一系列研讨会和研讨会中的第26次活动，旨在为空间信息和地理信息系统的重要领域提供支持。在地理信息系统的各个方面，将研究人员、开发人员、用户和从业人员聚集在一起，共同研究基于地理空间数据和知识的新系统，并促进跨学科的讨论和研究。会议为原创研究贡献提供了一个论坛，涵盖地理空间数据的所有概念，设计和实施方面，从应用程序，用户界面和可视化到数据存储和查询处理和索引。ACM SIGSPATIAL会议将包括研究报告、研讨会、演示、海报会议和以学生为中心的活动，包括学生研究竞赛、空间计算竞赛和高级研究人员的指导。第26届ACM SIGSPATIAL地理信息系统进展国际会议论文集将在ACM数字图书馆中提供。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

This award provides support for U.S.-based students to attend the 26th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems, November 6-9, 2018 in Seattle, WA. The ACM SIGSPATIAL conference is the world's premier research conference in Spatial Information and Geographic Information Systems. The conference brings together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners carrying out research and development in novel systems based on geospatial data and knowledge, and fostering interdisciplinary discussions and research in a wide set of disciplines and applications, including computer science, geography, urban planning, land-use, and defense. The ACM SIGSPATIAL conference seeks to support underrepresented students and in particular to foster development on a new generation of researchers and practitioners in the important area of Spatial Information and Geographic Information Systems.The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems 2018 is the 26th event in a series of symposia and workshops that began in 1993 with the aim of bringing together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners in relation to novel systems based on geo-spatial data and knowledge, and fostering interdisciplinary discussions and research in all aspects of geographic information systems. The conference provides a forum for original research contributions covering all conceptual, design, and implementation aspects of geospatial data ranging from applications, user interfaces, and visualization to data storage and query processing and indexing. The ACM SIGSPATIAL conference will feature research presentations, workshops, demonstrations, poster sessions, and student-focused activities, including a student research competition, a spatial computing competition, and mentoring by senior researchers. Proceedings of the 26th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems will be available in the ACM Digital Library.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
