***CALL FOR PAPERS***

The International Symposium on Cartography
in Internet and Ubiquitous Environments 2015
(CIU2015)
Tokyo, Japan, March 17 to 19, 2015
http://ubimap.csis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ciu2015/

Due to the emergence of information technology, maps are more
useful and essential in our lives. Maps can be regarded as a basic
need in this new services-based world of Internet and Ubiquitous
Environments. This symposium focuses on rethinking the concept
of maps, mapping and Cartography from theoretical, pragmatic
and technical viewpoints in this changing information environment.
Oral and poster presentations about web, mobile and ubiquitous
mappings are invited. Please submit your papers and abstracts to
the symposium CIU2015.

A book with selected papers from the symposium will be published
in the Springer Lecture Notes Series from the ICA.

The end of March is a good season to meet together in Tokyo.
See how Tokyo is changing in preparation for the 2020 Olympic Games.
