Dear Colleagues, we are very happy to welcome new contributions for the next GEOProcessing events, coming to ROME, ITALY, in 2018! Thank you so much for the excellent contributions so far and for the support from all participants, speakers, panelists, committees, peer reviewers, and all the other contributors and volunteers! Your contributions and support have made the GEOProcessing conferences a successful and most lively event over the last ten years! Please consider to contribute to The Tenth International Conference on Advanced Geographic Information Systems, Applications, and Services (GEOProcessing 2018) and events and/or forward to your colleagues and to the appropriate groups. GEOProcessing 2018 continues a successful series of events dedicated to advanced geographic information systems, applications, and services, covering academic and industrial achievements and visions in the geoscientific disciplines. Tracks feature application scenarios, state of the art, and outreach developments and span from geo-spatial fundamentals to visualusation, modeling and simulation, digital cartography data, earth geo-observation and sensing as well as geo-data processing and advanced application as from seismic data processing, planetology, geophysics, exploration to near surface method and archaeology application, data and knowledge management scenarios. The conference brings together world's leading international experts, researchers, computational scientists, developers, system managers, users, students, and industry and business affiliates for sharing experiences, publishing and presenting new research results and discussing recent developments, challenges, and future advancements and collaboration in exciting expert panels, workshops, symposia, and tutorials. In this context, in addition to the Call for Papers please also note the chance for proposals on: - tutorials see http://www.iaria.org/conferences2018/CfPGEOProcessing18.html - panels see http://www.iaria.org/conferences2018/CfPGEOProcessing18.html - workshops http://www.iaria.org/workshop.html - symposia http://www.iaria.org/symposium.html Wish you all the best with your research and beyond!
