REPORTS FROM COMMITTEE CHAIRS
Student Paper and Poster
Sessions at the Assembly
 John
Wilson
Research Committee
The Research Committee has
arranged
student paper and
poster
presentation sessions for this year's Assembly that will be folded into
the program for the
GIScience 2004 Conference. These sessions have been featured at all of
the past assemblies with the aim of fostering interdisciplinary discussions
among computer science, engineering, geography, natural resources, physical
science, social science and other academic programs engaged in geographic
information science research. One student was selected from each UCGIS
institution to receive a travel stipend to attend these meetings. This year
travel awards will be made to fifteen graduate students representing Clark
University, Indiana University, Ohio State University, State University of
New York at Buffalo, University of California at Berkeley, University of
California at Santa Barbara, University of Colorado, University of Georgia,
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, University of Iowa, University
of Michigan, University of Southern California, University of Tennessee at
Knoxville, University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, and West Virginia
University. Three student papers were selected for presentation in a
concurrent session specially designated for the best three student-authored
UCGIS papers, and sixteen additional students were selected to present their
work in a poster session. Those students selected to present papers and
posters were also required to prepare an article for the electronic
proceedings that has been posted to the UCGIS website. The editors of
Cartography and Geographic Information Science (CAGIS) and Transactions in
GIS (TGIS) will select two of the three manuscripts to be presented in the
student paper session for publication in upcoming issues of their journals.
Additional awards will be made for the best two posters presented at the
conference as well.
