May 18 – 20, Grenoble, France
Sponsored by
Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS)
· Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation
· U. S. Office of Naval Research Global (to be confirmed)
· Russian Foundation for Basic Research (to be confirmed)
Six previous Workshops were held in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2013 in St. Petersburg and 2011 in Brest, France. Information is available at the Workshops Archive
Program Overview
The 7th International Workshop on Information Fusion and Geographic Information Systems (IF&GIS' 2015) is expected to reflect problems of advanced geo-information science with a special emphasis towards deep virtualization for mobile GIS. IF&GIS’ 2015 encourage presentations of leading scientists doing research in environmental issues from the modeling, analysis, information processing and visualization. As well as practitioners engaged in GIS and GIS applications development. The Workshop will pay close attention to the problems of scientific and technological innovations as well as deep virtualization for mobile GIS, and their application capabilities such as the monitoring, planning and simulation of urban systems with respect to economic trends as related to Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge-based GIS.
Also we expect to discuss traditional problems about heterogeneous data, information and knowledge arriving from different sources and accounting for geographic information systems’ area aimed at realizing decision-making in monitoring systems of heterogeneous purpose and level.

Workshop Venue
According to the preliminary agreement, the IF&GIS’2015 will move to Grenoble in France. It will be organized in co-location with well-known W2GIS International Symposium . The Event will be held in the campus of University Pierre Mendes.
IF&GIS Program includes: (To be confirmed) - Tutorials; - Workshop; - Discussions; -Poster Presentations; - Guided tours and other social events.
Paper publication: the Workshop Proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in series Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography. IF&GIS workshop offers a peer-review procedure for scientific papers. We accept papers in two categories:
- Reviewed Papers: scientific papers which undergo a two-step peer review (up to 10 pages). All papers accepted for the Workshop will be published in the series Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Geoinformation & Cartography (LNG&C) after the workshop;
- Non-Reviewed Papers: practical experience reviews, poster presentations and project reports: decision on acceptance is made by Scientific Oganizing Committee (up to 5 pages).
Abstract: The abstract should summarize the contents of the paper and contain at least 70 and at most 150 words. It should be written using the abstract environment by EasyChair Conference System. Key words: Please list your keywords within the abstract section.
The Reviewing procedure is an important tool in enhancing the paper quality and therefore the expert output in general of the IF&GIS' 2015 Workshop. Papers will not only be evaluated on scientific quality but also with focus on practical relevance and “visionary approaches”. The group of reviewing experts comprises of researchers, practitioners and business experts.
There is also the opportunity to register papers for non-reviewed participation. In this case, members of the IF&GIS' 2015 Scientific Organizing team will decide on paper acceptance.
All papers will be available in CD-version at the time of the workshop.
Important Dates:
Abstract Submission deadline is extended up to ……… November 15, 2014
