Analysis of Movement Data:

Special Issue of International Journal of Geographical Information Science

Open call for submissions:

As a pre-conference event to the GIScience 2014 conference in Vienna, the workshop on "Analysis of Movement Data" (AMD 2014) has recently brought together some 60 participants, with close to 20 oral and poster contributions. The workshop served as a platform to discuss the recent trends on the study of movement and novel techniques for analyzing and contextualizing movement data. A broad range of topics was covered concerning analysis, modeling, and representation of movement data. The studies presented used movement data from different domains, such as transportation (vehicles, air traffic), pedestrian movements (both outdoor and indoor), or movement ecology (birds, mammals, etc.). For the aims and the program of the workshop, see http://sites.utexas.edu/amd2014/.

A special issue, with the same aims and scope as the workshop, will be published in the International Journal of Geographical Information Science (IJGIS). Submissions to the special issue may be made by either workshop participants or others interested in the theme. We invite submissions of full journal manuscripts that describe research that fits the general theme of movement data analysis, with particular emphasis on novel techniques that address the following examples of topics:

 Analyzing movement patterns using external factors (e.g. environment, geographic context)

  Analyzing interactions between moving entities

  Simulation and agent-based modeling of movement

  Cross-scale movement pattern analysis

  Entity behavior as a driver for patterns of movement

If you are not sure whether your potential contribution might fit the scope of this special issue, please get in touch with one of the guest editors.

Submission procedure:

Interested authors should notify the guest editors of their intention to submit a paper contribution by sending the title and a 200 word abstract to robert.weibel@geo.uzh.ch by 15 January 2015. The deadline for submissions of the final papers is 31 January 2015.

A condition of submission and acceptance will be that papers must pass the normal IJGIS review process. For author instructions please refer to "Instructions for authors" on the IJGIS journal homepage. Papers are to be submitted via the journal's Manuscript Central site: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ijgis. Please choose 'Special Issue Paper' from the manuscript types field when doing so, and indicate 'Analysis of Movement Data' as the target issue.

Important dates:

 Send short abstract: 15 January 2015

 Full paper submission for special issue: 31 January 2015

 Initial decision on full papers: 30 April 2015
