Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems 2019: Student Activities and U.S.-Based Students Support

该奖项支持美国学生参加2019年11月5日至8日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行的第27届计算机械协会空间信息特别兴趣小组(ACM SIGSPATIAL)地理信息系统进展国际会议。ACM SIGSPATIAL会议是世界上主要的空间信息和地理信息系统研究会议。这次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系统中进行研究和开发，并在包括计算机科学、地理、城市规划、土地利用和国防在内的广泛学科和应用中促进跨学科讨论和研究。ACM SIGSPATIAL会议旨在促进新一代研究人员和从业人员在重要的空间信息和地理信息系统领域的发展。ACM SIGSPATIAL 2019年地理信息系统进展国际会议是始于1993年的一系列研讨会和研讨会的第27次活动，目的是将基于地理空间数据和知识的新系统的研究人员、开发人员、用户和从业人员聚集在一起，并促进地理信息系统所有方面的跨学科讨论和研究。会议为原创研究提供了一个论坛，涵盖了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27届ACM SIGSPATIAL国际地理信息系统进展会议记录将在ACM数字图书馆中查阅。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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 27th Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM SIGSPATIAL) International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems, November 5-8, 2019 in Chicago, IL. 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 foster development of 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 2019 is the 27th 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 27th 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.
