5th ACM WORKSHOP ON
GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, USA
November 13-14, 1997
PRELIMINARY PROGRAM
Scope of the conference: The scope of this conference will be to regroup
all people carrying out researches in novel systems based on spatial data
and knowledge. The emphasis will be essentially targeted to the development
of generic principles and systems in computing based on those applications.
For cross-fertilizations and synergies between several applications can
help to develop new computing knowledge. It is organized within ACM CIKM'97,
the Sixth ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge
Management

** GIS'97 will be a two-day workshop (on Nov. 13 - 14, 1997). NPIVM'97 will be one-day workshops (on Nov. 14, 1997).
* (FOR AUTHORS ONLY):
Primary Author is responsible/liable for full registration fees for the accepted paper and at least one author per accepted paper (if not the prim= ary author) must register by the camera-ready paper deadline set by the Progra= m Chair, (or the paper will be excluded from the proceedings) and this is no= t refundable at any cases and the registered author, one per paper, must com= e and give presentation. The proceedings will be published by ACM and will only be distributed and can be picked on site (there will be extra handlin= g /shipping/mailing charges of $200.00 if it needs to be mailed to any paid registrants with "no show").

The REGISTRATION FORM with payment, one per accepted paper, must be= mailed to GIS'97 Treasurer, Dr. EK Park (see below for address) by the camera-ready paper submission deadline set by the Program Chair.
The maximum length is 4 pages for each accepted paper with a registration. Authors can buy up to 2 extra pages at a cost of U.S. $150.00 per extra pa= ge (so total length limit is 6 pages per paper if you buy extra pages).
