Our goal is to attract high quality presentations from across the U.S. to foster interdisciplinary discussions among computer science, engineering, geography, natural resources, physical science, social science and other academic programs engaged in geographic information science investigations and research. Selected students will present a poster on their research and will be required to prepare an article for the electronic proceedings. From those accepted, nine students will be selected to present their papers orally in a plenary session. Deadline for all abstracts, regardless of funding source, is February 1, 2001. Each selected student will be awarded a check in the full amount of the stipend at the Assembly.
Students are responsible for their own travel and accommodation arrangements.
The complimentary student registration covers continental breakfast and lunch Thursday through Saturday, dinner on Thursday, and a social reception Wednesday evening. If needed, students are encouraged to apply for additional funds from their home universities. 6.Abstract - The abstract should not exceed 500 words and should describe an ongoing or completed research investigation or project.
