The submission deadline is August 31, 2021. **************************************************************************************************** The 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL 2021 Workshop on Animal Movement Ecology and Human Mobility (HANIMOB 2021) **************************************************************************************************** 2 Nov 2021, Beijing, China and Zoom URL: https://hanimob.github.io/2021 MISSION In recent years, collection of tracking data has become ubiquitous in many scientific disciplines. One of these is movement ecology, which studies the spatio-temporal patterns and processes that regulate animal movement. Ecologists collect data on animal movement relying on animal-attached bio-logging tags (e.g. GPS sensors) and combine resulting trajectories with contextual data on environment, such as remote sensing products or other empirically collected data. Movement is also studied and tracking data collected in human mobility research, which spans a set of disciplines, from Spatial Computing, to GIScience, physics and transportation science. While data and analytical methods are similar between the animal and human disciplines, there is little interdisciplinary awareness of these similarities. Recently, GIScientists have called for the establishment of the Integrated Science of Movement, with the specific aim to bridge the gap between movement ecology and human mobility and raise awareness of respective problems, data and methods. This workshop aims to bridge ecology, GIScience and Spatial Computing. TOPICS Example topics include but are not limited to: - Availability and downscaling of human mobility data for analysis of wildlife-human interaction - Integration of human mobility concepts in movement ecology - Integration of ecological concepts in human mobility analysis - Methods for data fusion of movement data and contextual data (environmental, remote sensing, etc.) - Context-aware movement analysis (analyzing integrated movement and contextual data) - Use cases in human mobility and/or animal movement analysis - Software platforms for animal and/or human movement - Data science and movement analytics approaches to movement ecology or human mobility - Visualisation and visual analytics for animal and/or human movement - Geoprivacy issues in both human mobility and animal ecology - Ethics of movement data analysis, open data and open methods ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Federico Ossi Trento University, Italy Fatima Hachem University of Milan, Italy Francesca Cagnacci Fondazione Edmund Mach, Italy Urška Demšar University of St Andrews, Scotland, UK Maria Luisa Damiani University of Milan, Italy PROGRAM COMMITTEE Vanessa Brum Bastos University of St Andrews, UK Kevin Buchin Technical University Eindhoven, the Netherlands Maike Buchin Rurh-University Bochum, Germany Vickie De Nicola University of Trento Somayeh Dodge University of California Santa Barbara, USA Sabrina Gaito University of Milan, Italy Jed Long Western University, Canada Harvey Miller Ohio State University, USA Jennifer Miller University of Texas at Austin, USA Ruth Oliver Yale University, USA Chiara Renso CNR, Italy Kamran Safi Max Planck Institute for Animal Behaviour, Germany Robert Weibel University of Zürich, Switzerland IMPORTANT DATES Paper submissions: 31 Aug 2021 Notiifcation: 30 Sept 2021 Camera-ready: 15 Oct 2021 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers can: - present research projects at different stage of development - present case studies/demos of new systems (even works in progress) - discuss the needs and problems associated with the use of human mobility data for ecological investigation (position papers) - discuss case studies published elsewhere, but in the optic of the theme of the workshop (e.g. potential applications of methodologies) In any case, submitted papers must be neither previously published nor under review by another workshop, conference or journal. Only electronic submissions in PDF will be accepted. We accept two types of submissions: long papers (max 8-10 pages), short papers (4 pages). Papers should conform to the standard ACM Template
