Two Calls for Papers

The International Cartographic Association (ICA) and the International Journal of Geographic Information Science (IJGIS) have each issued a call for papers.

The ICA is hosting a Workshop on Advances in Sensors and Algorithms for Topographic and Thematic Mapping (link), and seeks papers on a wide array of topics related to mapping and remote sensing. More information on submissions is available here.

For a planned special issue on data-intensive geospatial computing, the International Journal of Geographic Information Science seeks original, unpublished papers that describe efforts and advances related to the special issue topic, with particular applications to environment and urban systems. More information is available here.
