AutoCarto 2020: WhereNext
Call for Extended Abstracts and Workshops
The Cartography and Geographic Information Society (CaGIS) is pleased to call for submissions of extended abstracts to be included in AutoCarto 2020, November 18-20, 2019 and proposals for pre-conference workshops in the Esri campus, Redlands, CA. All workshops will take place on November 17, 2020. Workshops can be 90 minutes to 6 hours. See submission requirements below for detail.
AutoCarto symposia started in 1974 with a long history of bringing academia, industry, and government agencies to share research and explore new ideas in cartography and GIScience. The theme of AutoCarto 2020 is WhereNext. We welcome submissions of extended abstracts for research presentations and workshop proposals with a topical or technical emphasis related to WhereNext. We are not only looking at where we are and where to go next, but we challenge the ideas of where and next in terms of meaning, communication, visualization, and reasoning in the new age of automation, robotics revolution, and AI.
Cartography and Geographic Information Science (the journal of the Society) plans to publish a special issue (or a special section) after the conference. Authors who would like to submit a full manuscript to CaGIS can indicate so in the extended abstract. The conference Program Committee will consider all offers of submission and select those abstracts most likely to be accepted. Due dates for the full manuscripts will be announced after the conference. Student assistantships of $750 are available on a competitive basis. Selected students need to present a poster or a selected extended abstract as well as 20 hours of assistance at the conference. In addition to workshops, keynotes, panels, and research presentations, CaGIS is working to arrange Esri tours and hikes with the local Sierra Club.
