Timetable  Final papers due:     20 June 2000
           Registration due:     20 July 2000

Papers are invited on all aspects of research within the broad field
of geo-spatial computation. This conference series brings together
numerous scientists from different areas of research, who are
interested in using the latest computational tools and techniques, or
who have implemented similar computation-based approaches under
alternative scenarios. It represents a conscious attempt to move the
research agenda back to scientific modelling and analysis, with or
without being locked into GIS! The main aim of each annual meeting is
to enrich geo-scientists with a powerful toolbox of fresh ideas and
methods that will permit them to examine and resolve a large range of
complex, often non-deterministic, problems. It is a deliberate effort
to explore the middle ground between quantitative research and
computer science from an informed perspective. It seeks to demonstrate
to practitioners the use of innovative up-to-the-minute enabling
technologies and at the same time to provide computer scientists with
a rich source of computational and representational challenges.

Total cost including on-site accommodation in student halls,
registration, proceedings and meals will be 220 pounds sterling.
Special rates will be available for registered students.

Publication outlets will include conference proceedings and journal
special editions. Past peer reviewed volumes have included 'Computers, 
Environment and Urban Systems', 'Computers and Geosciences', etc.
