GISTAM 2017 - 27-28 April, Portugal

The International Conference on Geographical Information Systems Theory, Applications and Management aims at creating a meeting point of researchers and practitioners that address new challenges in geo-spatial data sensing, observation, representation, processing, visualization, sharing and managing, in all aspects concerning both information communication and technologies (ICT) as well as management information systems and knowledge-based systems. The conference welcomes original papers of either practical or theoretical nature, presenting research or applications, of specialized or interdisciplinary nature, addressing any aspect of geographic information systems and technologies.

One of the most important contributions that GISTAM brings about is the creation of a high-level forum in collaboration with the most prestigious internationally recognized experts, including names such as Lemonia Ragia (University of Geneva, Switzerland) as a Conference Chair and Jorge Gustavo Rocha (University of Minho, Portugal) as Program Chair. GISTAM 2017 will have several invited keynote speakers such as George Vosselman (University of Twente, Netherlands), Jorge Miguel Alberto de Miranda (University of Lisbon, Portugal) and Yannis Ioannidis ("Athena" Research & Innovation Center and University of Athens, Greece).
