Conference: ACM SIGSPATIAL Conference 2022: Student Activities and U.S.-Based Students Support

This award supports 29+ U.S.-based students to attend the 30th Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM SIGSPATIAL) International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems, November 1-4, 2022, in Seattle, WA. The ACM SIGSPATIAL conference is the world's premier Spatial Information and Geographic Information Systems research conference. The conference brings together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners conducting research and development in novel systems based on geospatial data and knowledge. The conference promotes interdisciplinary discussions and research in broad disciplines and applications, including computer science, geography, urban planning, land use, and defense. The conference also seeks to foster the development of a new generation of researchers and practitioners in the critical area of Spatial Information and Geographic Information Systems. The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems 2022 is the 30th event in a series of symposia and workshops that began in 1993. The ACM SIGSPATIAL conference has established itself as the world's premier Spatial Information and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) research conference. The conference provides a forum for original research contributions covering all conceptual, design, and implementation aspects of GIS, ranging from applications, user interfaces, and visualization to storage management and indexing issues. The conference brings together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners conducting research and development in novel systems based on geospatial data and knowledge. The ACM SIGSPATIAL conference will feature research presentations, workshops, demonstrations, poster sessions, and student-focused activities, including a student research competition, a spatial computing competition, and mentoring by senior researchers. Proceedings of the 30th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems will be available in the ACM Digital Library. This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
