You are invited to participate in a free, one day conference and =
discussion
seminar on the development, application and future potential of
visualization and multimedia technologies for wireless GIS and the =
delivery
of Location Based Services.
=20
The seminar will be held in the ARKive Theatre, Wildwalk building, =
@Bristol
and is open to members of the academic, public policy and commercial =
sectors
with an interest in the integration of mobile GIS and cartographic =
display
with the delivery of location based services. We will pay the travel =
and
accommodation costs of speakers. The conference is free for all =
delegates,
lunch will be provided and the conference will be followed by an =
informal
wine reception and dinner.

You are invited to attend either as a member of the audience or as a
presenter. Research presentations, discussion papers and demonstration
projects are invited on the following or related topics:
=20
* 'Telecartography' and spatial data display for mobile devices
(including feature selection, visualization, generalization and =
rendering
methods):=20
* The use of multimedia for mobile GIS:=20
* Wireless infrastructures and interactive mapping: 3G, 4G and beyond:
* Data privacy, data protection and ethical considerations:=20
* Exemplar projects, applications or prototypes.
=20
The conference will explore: the application of multimedia in wireless
mapping devices: the use of cartographic display and visualization to =
'add
value' to data: the visualization problems encountered for small screen
devices such as PDAs: techniques for generalizing (or compressing) =
complex
geographic information: methods and protocols for 'on the fly' user
positioning, data analysis and answering user-driven location =
enquiries:
efficient transmission of spatial data to wireless devices: and issues =
of
data privacy, spatial data management and ensuring user confidence.
=20
The event is being organised as part of the ESRC Transdisciplinary =
Research
Seminars Programme. It is coordinated by University College London's =
Centre
for Advanced Spatial Analysis, in association with the School of =
Computing,
University of Glamorgan, the School of Geographical Sciences, =
University of
Bristol and the Geographical Information Science research group of the =
Royal
Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers). The
conference venue, At-Bristol, is "a unique destination bringing =
science,
nature and art to life. An immense =A397 million project, at-Bristol is =
the
core of a =A3450 million urban rejuvenation scheme, covering 11 acres =
at the
heart of Bristol's Harbourside area." It is conveniently situated =
