Second International Workshop on Indoor Spatial Awareness (ISA 2010)
http://www.geom.unimelb.edu.au/winter/isa.html
In conjunction with ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2010
November 2, 2010, San Jose, CA, USA
With the rapid progress of location based services, geographic information systems,
and ubiquitous computing technologies, the space that we are dealing with is no
longer limited to outdoor space but being extended to indoor space. Indoor space
has some differences from outdoor space, most notably by its relevant third
dimension, but also by its privately regulated accessibility. Therefore to provide
integrated seamless services across spaces it is required to establish new theories, data models, and
systems. For this reason, research has begun to extend the scope of LBS and GIS to indoor space for the
applications such as indoor orientation and navigation services, emergency management, indoor space
management and 3D cadastre. This workshop is intended to bring together researchers, developers, and
practitioners carrying out research and development related to the topic of indoor spatial awareness
and to provide a forum for interdisciplinary discussions in all aspects of indoor spatial awareness.
The topics of workshop include (but are not limited to) the following topics:
indoor spatial data models
handling moving objects in indoor space
positioning, tracking and navigation in indoor space
indexing and query processing of indoor spatial databases
construction of indoor spatial databases
context‐awareness in indoor space
indoor space analysis
ontology for indoor space
interoperability and standards
applications and services for indoor space
Information for authors
The workshop solicits regular papers and work‐in‐progress papers. Submissions must be original and
must not be under consideration for publication in any other forum. Papers must be formatted using the
ACM camera‐ready templates available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html, and
are limited to 8 and 4 pages, respectively. They must be submitted in PDF format via the EasyChair
system, at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isa20100.
Acceptance will be based on relevance to the workshop and technical quality, originality, and potential
impact, as well as clarity of presentation. All submitted papers will be assigned to at least 3 referees.
The workshop also solicits demo papers that describe demonstrations of prototype systems of relevance
to the workshop. Such papers must be formatted and submitted as described above, but are limited to 2
pages. In addition to relevance to the workshop, acceptance will be based on perceived interest to the
workshop participants and the value of the demonstration.
Authors of accepted full and work‐in‐progress papers will be given the opportunity to also demonstrate
prototype systems at the workshop and thus do not need to also submit corresponding demo papers.
The proceedings of the workshops will be published jointly with the conference proceedings and will
appear in the ACM Digital Library. One author per accepted workshop contribution is required to
register for the workshop and the conference, as well as attend the workshop to present the accepted
submission. Otherwise, the accepted submission will not appear in the workshop proceedings.
