GIS Ideas - Ha Noi September 16-18 2004 - Call for Participation

Dear All,

I am very pleased to be associated with this important symposium.

This is the first general circulation of the notice for this
meeting which intends to be more than just a scientific meeting
but also a conference on how Geographic Information Systems can
be useful in a broad range of fields, and most importantly
to planners and decision makers.

We are therefore seeking presenters from many different fields,
from conservation and heritage trhough human development and
city planning. It is intended that there will be special sessions
including key presentations for policy makers.

The deadline for abstracts is the end of April. There is a
registration fee.

Companies and agencies should consider supporting
this conference, and preparing exhibits. Please visit the
website for details.

ABOUT

The International Symposium on GeoInformatics for
Spatial-Infrastructure Development in Earth & Allied
Sciences (GIS-IDEAS) is scheduled to take place in
Hanoi, Vietnam, 16-18 September 2004. This is followup
to the very successful GIS-IDEAS Symposium held
in Hanoi, Vietnam in September 2002
(http://gisws.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/gisideas/). The main
theme of the GIS-IDEAS 2004 would be on
Geoinformatics applications (Remote Sensing, GIS, GPS
etc.) for monitoring, predicting, managing and mitigation
of natural disasters. The symposium will also focus on
development of spatial databases and analysis of spatial
data for modelling and simulation of processes related
to our natural and social environment. GIS-IDEAS
Symposium in 2004 not only aims to serve as a forum
for scientific exchanges but also as a conduit for
technology transfer through tutorial sessions. Further,
in order to promote a better understanding of local
needs, field excursions and visits to scientific institutes
in Vietnam are also being planned. The language of the
conference will be English.
