AGILE 2012
Fifteen years after the publication « Geographic Information Research: Bridging the Atlantic », edited by Max Craglia, one of the founders of AGILE, and Helen Couclelis from the NCGIA, you are invited to attend the 15th AGILE International Conference. As the bridges of Avignon and the Gard which have crossed the History, as the painter Van Gogh who travelled from the Netherlands to South of France, we shall try to emphasize the research in geoinformation science, geomatics and spatial analysis where different disciplines, epistemologies and scientific cultures meet. On behalf of the AGILE council, we invite you to participate in the next AGILE International Conference on Geographic Information Science that will be held in Avignon, France.
SHORT PAPER & POSTER SUBMISSION: Thursday, 12th of January, 2012.
15th AGILE Conference on Geographic Information Science
24-27 April 2012, Avignon, France
To submit a short paper : https://www.softconf.com/c/
"Bridging the Geographic Information Sciences"
Call for Short Papers and Posters
Contributors are invited to submit:
Ø Short papers: 2000 to 3000‐words manuscript limited to 6 pages (in pdf format) of original and unpublished research work. High‐quality scientific and strategic (industrial and governmental) submissions will be accepted for presentation at the conference. Papers must be written in correct English according to the submission template and formatting guidelines. Since the new template is very compact, these 6 pages correspond to 8-10 pages in previous AGILE 2011 or single column common guidelines. A selection of the submitted papers will be published in the Proceedings, under ISBN. The selection process is double blind, so the authors mustn't insert their name, affiliation or own publications in the submitted papers. For more details:http://agile2012.imag.fr/
This year there will be an opportunity to prepare an extended paper for a series of international journalsbased on a long or short paper. With that aim, a sub-committee of the scientific program committee will make a selection of papers based on their quality, potential and relevance for the respective special issues. The authors will be invited to prepare such an extended paper for one of the below mentioned journals, after the conference. These papers will have to be extended and designed according to the journal requirements (paper length, specific guidelines, journal reviews, possible additional fee). Details on the selection and review process will be provided at a later stage.
Ø Poster proposals: 500 to 1000‐words manuscript of original scientific and strategic research work. High‐quality submissions will be accepted for poster presentations at the conference, which will provide the exceptional opportunity to stimulate scientific discussions and exchange novel ideas. Posters proposals must be written in correct English according to the submission template and formatting guidelines.
Authors’ instructions are available on the web site of the conference. All submissions must be sent electronically via the online conference manager.

Pre-conference workshops
The pre-conference workshops will be held on Tuesday, April 24th and are a complementary forum to the main conference, encouraging presentation and discussion of work in progress, and facilitating a dialogue on emerging topics in small groups. See the details on:
Travel Grants available
The AGILE Grant Program will allocate 15 grants (scholarships) to AGILE 2012 attendees, with priority given to PhD students. An applicant must have submitted a paper or a poster. The estimated value of each grant is approximately 500 € (covering full conference registration and a maximum of 4 nights in a hotel chosen by the conference organizers). The call for the grants will be published on the conference web site. In case there are more than 15 applicants, a selection will be made by a small grant selection committee taking into account the quality of the submitted work.
