Slightly late to report this but better than never: back about eight weeks ago, our joint workshop with ICA Commission on GeoVisualization (http://geoanalytics.net/ica/) in Paris on July 2nd, 2011 was a success. At least we enjoyed it, and seemingly most of our participants did too. The meeting took place on a Saturday and lasted the entire day from 9.30 to 5pm, with thirteen presentations (enjoying work, especially on a Saturday, caused some ‘workaholism’ comments but no one openly admitted to…
Our next workshop, in collaboration with ICA commission on GeoVisualization on Persistent Problems in Geovisualization, is fast approaching. The program is now clear and can be seen here: http://geoanalytics.net/ica/icc2011workshop.htm — and you can register (free!) here: http://www.geo.uzh.ch/~arzu/register/ Note that there’s limited space, so if you intend to come, don’t wait too long to register. We are looking forward for a set of stimulating discussions with our colleagues across the entire spectrum of geographic information science.
This may turn into a very rewarding discussion. We are involved in organizing.
