Building upon the success of the workshop on Geospatial Data Mining and Visualization held in 2003, the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science (UCGIS) is hosting this workshop to bring together leading researchers from multiple disciplines to discuss next-generation computation and visualization models needed for the understanding of dynamics in geographic domains. The workshop is sponsored by geospatial intelligence communities.

Participants will be selected from UCGIS member institutions to join representatives from an array of government agencies to discuss visions, challenges, and research needs in the topical area. In addition to plenary sessions, breakout-group meetings, and open-space discussions, the workshop will invite representatives from the intelligence community to demonstrate current uses of spatiotemporal information technologies and elaborate on needs for further developments.

The workshop is expected to deliver two books: one on the research and development agenda and another to address broader issues and research challenges on the topical area. Possible topics for consideration at the workshop include (but are not limited to): spatiotemporal analysis and modeling; spatiotemporal visual analytics; spatiotemporal data mining; spatiotemporal reasoning; and spatiotemporal ontologies.
