Dear Colleagues, we are very happy to welcome new contributions for the next GEOProcessing events, coming to BARCELONA, SPAIN, in 2020! Thank you so much for the excellent contributions over the years 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 very successful and most lively events for more than ten years! Please consider to contribute to The Twelfth International Conference on Advanced Geographic Information Systems, Applications, and Services (GEOProcessing 2020) and events and/or forward to your colleagues and to the appropriate groups. GEOProcessing 2020 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. Geographical sensors and satellites provide a huge volume of spatial data which is available on the Web. Making use of Web Services, the users are able for provisioning and using these services instead of only for document searching. These services are published in a directory and may be automatically discovered in a given context by software agents. Accessing large digital geographical libraries with geo-spatial information raises some challenges with respect to data semantics, interfaces, data accuracy and updates, distributed processing, as well as with discovery, indexing and integration of geographical information systems; this raise the issue of distributed catalogs forming a federation of spatial databases. Some spatial data infrastructures use service-oriented architecture for accessing these large databases via Web Services. 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. GEOProcessing 2020 aims on bringing together world's leading international experts, researchers from the academia, computational scientists, information scientists, developers, system managers, users, students, and practitioners from the industry and business affiliates in order to address fundamentals of advances in geographic information systems and new applications and 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 Submissions please also note the chance for proposals on tutorials, panels, workshops, and symposia. http://www.user.uni-hannover.de/cpr/x/rwerkr/en/#2020GEOProcessing Wish you all the best with your research and beyond!
