  2. Report ACM-GIS 2011, Chicago •  A lot of workshops(http://acmgis2011.cs.umn.edu/workshops/index.html )—this tells you were the current research activities lie. • A lot of papers on trajectories (more than 20%) many of which lack depth (either theoretical or experimental) • One paper from the University of Oklahoma which analyzes change in rain fall patterns has some similarity with our spatial progression work • Interesting parking slot assignment paper • Somewhat interesting work on spatial ontologies • Colocation paper from the University of Minnesota that centers on regional knowledge extraction

  3. Report ACM-GIS 2011, Chicago • Several papers on location prediction (a German paper tried to predict your location based on the path you drove on the road was kind of unique) and on analyzing streaming spatial data which pose data analysis/data structure/HPC problems • Somewhat interesting demos: Microsoft displayed a system where you can walk through a city in 3D. http://readwriteworld.cloudapp.net/ • Some visualization papers; in particular, Schneiderman’s “visualization gives you answers to questions you did not consider before” (University of Maryland) HCI/Visualization talk was interesting. http://www.cs.umd.edu/~ben/http://www.treemappa.com/ • Funding agencies were mostly absent---nothing about NSF CYBERGIS: http://www.cigi.illinois.edu/cybergis/index.php • http://cybergis.cigi.uiuc.edu/node/31 • ACM SIGSPATIAL?!?: http://www.sigspatial.org/
