You all have about 3 weeks left to compose an abstract for our meeting. It is a pleasure to inform that Jim Thomas, the head of the National Visualization and Analytics Center, will give the keynote speech at our meeting. More information: kartoweb.itc.nl/icavis/ Workshop on Visual Analytics & Spatial Decision Support The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from relevant fields to address research issues of visual analytics and spatial decision support in the multidisciplinary context of GI Science. The participants will present and discuss the state-of-the-art and directions for future research. The workshop will have a multidisciplinary character with participation by scientists working in the areas covered by the workshop. In addition, we expect participants from neighbouring and complementary disciplines (e.g. telecartography, geocomputation, HCI, AI, cognitive science, information visualization, decision sciences) to join the workshop for establishing dialog and future cooperation. For more information visit: www.ais.fraunhofer.de/and/VisA-SDS-2006/ International Workshop on Modern Decision Support in Geographical Domains The scope of the 1st International Workshop on Modern Decision Support in Geographical Domains: Models, Methods, and Tools is to examine and elaborate the new research directions involved in Modern Geographic Decision Support; and to allow researchers and practitioners in the area of Geographic Decision Support present their work, exchange ideas, and foster collaboration among multi-disciplinary groups. The Workshop Program will consists of invited talks, invited tutorials, paper sessions and discussion sessions. The Workshop will be held in conjunction with the 10th East-European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems ADBIS'2006.

Also included are events relating to map and atlas publishing, map keeping and map librarianship, the teaching of surveying and cartographic skills, and the formation of societies and associations relating to surveying and cartography. The time line is 136 pages long, and includes an index of people and organizations mentioned in the text. There is a substantial list of references, and 8 black and white illustrations.

The rise of virtual globes on the web has given globalism a new meaning, and is spearheading a cartographic environment where integration and innovation can thrive to merge the local and global in exotic new ways. New Zealand, with its genuine drive for innovation, is well positioned to take advantage of these developments and chart its own trajectory in pursuit of new cartographies for the 21st century. The Conference sessions will address themes concerning the links between global and local environments through creative application of modern cartographic tools and strategies, such as virtual reality, Internet and interactive mapping, location-based mapping, geovisualisation, 3D environments, geospatial data standards and cartographic modelling.
