Papers are invited on all themes within the general field of GeoComputation, especially in the areas of:

New GeoComputational algorithms and architectures Complexity theory and methods applied in ecological, environmental, geographical, and urban studies Techniques for knowledge discovery and data mining in spatio-temporal databases Spatial modeling of discrete entities and events Simulation in spatial- and geo-statistical analysis Distributed and parallel designs and implementations for GeoComputation Evolutionary and neural computing for spatial applications Agent-based modeling of geographical systems Cellular automata (CA) for spatial modeling Space-Time Information Systems Spatial network modeling and analysis Accuracy, uncertainty, calibration, and validation issues of GeoComputational models Urban spatial simulation Theories of spatial information GRID application in Geocomputation Demographic and socioeconomic modeling Environmental and ecological informatics Health and medical informatics

Diskettes or CDs should be sent to: GeoComputation 2005 Institute for Geospatial Research and Education 125 King Hall Eastern Michigan University Ypsilanti, MI, 48197 U.S.A

Potential contributors are invited to submit extended abstracts (maximum 1500 words) by 28 Janurary 2005 , which will be reviewed for inclusion in the conference program. The deadline for authors of accepted contributions to submit full papers for publication in a conference proceedings volume to be published on CD is 31 May 2005. The organizers are investigating the possibility of dedicated publications in book and journal forms for selected papers. The selected papers for dedicated publications include three categories:

original and unpublished basic research in GeoComputation reports of innovative GeoComputation applications in ecological, environmental, geographic, public health, socioeconomic, and urban studies reports of GeoComputational algorithms and architectures in new problem domains
