Call for Papers
With technology advancements, the significance of user-generated content increases, enabling users to provide substantial data and information to address complex scientific problems that would otherwise be challenging. This year, we aim to prioritize the exploration of recent developments that foster user-generated content, particularly in the domains of citizen science and Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) projects. While submissions to the conference can concentrate on inventive methods for data validation and enhancing public involvement in scientific projects, we also welcome contributions on various other topics. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
Geospatial databases and spatio-temporal data management
Mobile spatial interaction
Movement analysis
Spatial search, GeoWeb search engines and services
Location-based social networks
On-line spatial data mining
GeoSensor data acquisition, processing, management and analysis
Smart environments, Internet of Things and ambient spatial intelligence
Exploratory cartography and Web and wireless geo interfaces
Advanced GIS visualization techniques for Web and mobile location-based applications
Cyber-geography & augmented reality
Map personalization and adaptation
3D modelling of cityscapes for location-based services
Ubiquitous and wireless GIS
Security, privacy, and usability issues of Web and wireless environments
Semantic geospatial Web and interoperability
User studies and evaluations of online geo services
Indoor and outdoor wayfinding and navigation
Crowdsourcing and volunteered geographic information
Telematics, GIS and location-based applications
LBS and transportation applications
Wireless-based location-aware applications
Submission types
We invite papers in the form of three types of contributions:
We invite papers in the form of three types of contributions:
full papers to present scientific results (10 to 16 pages excluding bibliography and appendix),
short papers to present on-going work (6 to 10 pages);
industry papers, for works with a larger focus on industrial impact (6 to 16 pages), or showcase papers (4 to 6 pages). At least one author should have an industrial affiliation.
Notice that full papers and short papers should be submitted to the "Research Track" on EasyChair, while industry papers should be submitted to the "Industry Track". W2GIS 2024 will also feature a Doctoral Symposium where PhD students can present their research activities and receive feedback from well-known researchers in the field. For submissions to the Doctoral Symposium, please refer to the dedicated web page.

Dissemination
All submissions will be refereed for quality, originality, and relevance by the Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published in the Springer LNCS series. Best selected papers will be invited to submit an expanded version for consideration in a special issue within the Journal of Geo-spatial Information Science.
Submission instructions
Authors are invited to submit full, original, unpublished research papers. Each paper must be written in English, it must be submitted in PDF, and it must be formatted using the Springer camera-ready templates available at the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science website. All contributions must be uploaded through the submission site at EasyChair.
