UDMS 2011
28TH URBAN DATA MANAGEMENT SYMPOSIUM
September 28-30, 2011
DELFT, THE NETHERLANDS
SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd_CfP_UDMS_2011 (The Urban Data Management Society has organised international symposia at various locations throughout Europe since 1971, and UDMS 2011 will mark its 40th anniversary.
For this anniversary the Board of UDMS has decided to hold the conference in Delft, The Netherlands, a city and a country we have called home for many years. For this symposium the Board has decided to call attention to the 40 years of UDMS, certain that this is an experience not to be found elsewhere and a valuable basis on which to form planning for the future. Consequently the general theme chosen of UDMS 2011 is UDMS at 40 years: making contributions to the future
As in the UDMS tradition we will provide a forum in which representatives from local authorities, universities, research centers and professionals can join together to discuss new approaches, to consider new technologies, and to share practical experiences in the field of urban and regional data management.
UDMS 2011 will include dynamic Discussion Working Sessions in which academics, representatives from local authorities and professionals will discuss relevant topics and problems for which solutions are required. The results of the discussion will be presented by a rapporteur in a final session. These sessions will facilitate the effective creation of collaboration and synergies between participants in addition to the conventional Sientific and Technical Sessions. Representatives from local authorities in Europe will be invited to participate to the conference and take part to the Discussion Working Sessions. The organising committee invites you to submit a paper for presentation and to take part in this important event.
Three types of submissions will be considered:
- Scientific papers up to 6000 words, for full paper peer review by three reviewers.
- Technical papers up to 3000 words presenting new solutions, review of potential new technologies and project results, for abstract review
- Technical papers, especially from local authorities and professionals, presenting the description of experiences,
solutions or problems requiring solutions, for abstract review
All accepted papers will be orally presented at the conference.
Scientific papers and a selection of Technical papers will be printed in the UDMS proceedings that will be published by Taylor & Francis as a hardbound book.
The three best of papers in each category will receive an award of recognition.
