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.

Dr. Claus-Peter Rueckemann
General Chair and Chair of the GEOProcessing Steering Committee
