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

该奖项为参加2018年11月6日至9日在华盛顿州西雅图举行的第26届ACM SIGSPATIAL国际地理信息系统进展会议的美国学生提供支持。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。会议将研究人员、开发人员、用户和实践者聚集在一起，在基于地理空间数据和知识的新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、土地利用和国防。ACM SIGSPATIAL会议旨在支持代表性不足的学生，特别是促进新一代空间信息和地理信息系统重要领域的研究人员和实践者的发展。2018年ACM SIGSPATIAL国际地理信息系统进展会议是1993年开始的一系列专题讨论会和研讨会中的第26次会议，旨在将研究人员、开发人员、用户和实践者聚集在一起，讨论基于地理空间数据和知识的新型系统，并促进地理信息系统各个方面的跨学科讨论和研究。会议为原始研究贡献提供了一个论坛，涵盖地理空间数据的所有概念、设计和实现方面，从应用程序、用户界面、可视化到数据存储、查询处理和索引。ACM SIGSPATIAL会议将以研究报告、研讨会、演示、海报会议和以学生为中心的活动为特色，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国际地理信息系统进展会议论文集将在ACM数字图书馆中提供。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

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.
