                         CALL FOR PAPERS

      Special Topics Issue of _JASIS_ on Spatial Information Systems
      JASIS = Journal of the American Society for Information Science

    Spatial information systems include geographic information systems
    (GIS), remote-sensing (RS), global positioning systems (GPS), automated
    manufacturing facilities management (AM/FM), and advanced navigational
    systems.  These have become a billion dollar a year industry just in
    the U.S.  Such systems are having major impacts in the way individuals,
    governments, not-for-profit and for-profit corporations collect, use,
    and monitor spatial information.

    Papers are solicited on topics on particular aspects of the
    representation, storage, retrieval, cognitive processing, or
    management of spatial information. Articles should represent
    original research (theoretical or empirical), focusing upon a
    particular aspect of this broad and growing interdisciplinary domain.

                       Topics of interest include:
           Knowledge representation for spatial data
           Research in storage and retrieval of spatial data
           Developments in telecommunication and network use of spatial data
           Research in combining spatial and non-spatial data for resolving
                    personal information needs (e.g., in-car navigation
                    or recreational uses)
           Empirical and theoretical work related to user interfaces and
                    query languages for spatial data
           Empirical work in cognitive metaphors for navigation that
                    apply human wayfinding abilities
           Developments in 3D, multimedia GIS, and animation for spatial data
           Spatial decision support tools or spatial groupware issues
           Research and developments in standards for spatial data
           Research in the role of spatial data in environmental issues
           Research related to the storage, retrieval, management, and
                    cognitive behavior in using spatial information

       Four copies of the manuscript should be sent to:
            Dr. Myke Gluck
            School of Library and Information Studies
            R-106, 101 Louis Shores Building
            Florida State University
            Tallahassee, FL  32306-2048

             (904) 644-9763  Fax
             Email: mgluck@LIS.FSU.EDU

        The deadline for accepting manuscripts for consideration for
        publication is August 31, 1993.  All manuscripts will be reviewed
        by a select panel of referees, and those accepted will be published
        in a special issue of the _Journal of the American Society for
        Information Science_ (JASIS).

        Of course, original artwork and a signed copy of the copyright
        release form will be required for all accepted papers.

        [Apologies to those who receive multiple copies of this post]

          Please fell free to forward to other individuals and lists.
