This year’s joint e-seminar series will return to the topic of dynamic modelling in a GIS environment.
Date: 28th Oct at 1700 GMT
Title: A dynamic social network model for disease transmission.
Speaker: Ling Bian (Buffalo)
Chair: Kirk Harland (Leeds)
The seminars are open to all. For details of how to join the e-seminar using the Marratech™ video conferencing environment, and further seminars in the same series, see: http://www.wun.ac.uk/ggisa/seminars.html
Dave Unwin (d.unwin@wun.ac.uk) WUN Global GISc Academy Coordinator
Steve Carver (s.j.carver@leeds.ac.uk) University of Leeds
Convenors: Dr. Hanif Rahemtulla (hanif.rahemtulla@mail.mcgill.ca) and Dr. Muki Haklay (m.haklay@ucl.ac.uk)
This session will examine the participatory governance potential of the Geoweb and, in particular, its capacity to enable a two-way dialogue between government officials and the public. From a practical perspective, we will explore how different levels of governments can use the Geoweb as a platform that could build upon current PPGIS/PGIS practices and broaden public engagement. From a theoretical standpoint, we propose to address the scientific, technical, and participatory issues that challenge the accomplishment of this vision.
Please contact convenors for more information.
The 2010 RGS-IBG Annual Conference will take place from the 1st to 3rd September 2010 at the Royal Geographical Society, London.

Enhancing Complex Social Simulations with Automata Systems
Conveners: Dr Alison Heppenstall (a.j.heppenstall@leeds.ac.uk), Dr Linda See, (l.m.see@leeds.ac.uk).
This session aims to bring together researchers to report on progress in diverse types of automata systems in social simulation. We encourage the submission of theoretical, experimental, methodological and application papers related to Cellular Automata (CA) and Agent-Based Modelling (ABM).
GIS for Environmental Modelling
Convener: Dr Katherine Arrell (k.arrell@leeds.ac.uk).
This session aims to bring together researchers to report on state of the art environmental modelling applications. This session seeks to attract papers reporting GIS modelling applications for environmental sciences.
Postgraduate Session: Analysing and Visualising Social Change
Conveners: James Cheshire (james.cheshire@ucl.ac.uk), Dr Muki Haklay (m.haklay@ucl.ac.uk).
The data and tools that are used for analysing, visualising and understanding social change have become increasingly accessible and sophisticated in recent years. GIScience has been at the forefront of these advances, developing tools, providing new visualisations and communicating the results to wider audiences. This session seeks to attract postgraduate researchers from all areas of GIScience, Geovisualisation and wider geography who are concerned with monitoring and visualising social change. Submissions are especially welcome from those researching geovisualisation, modeling, geodemographics, migration and other aspects of social change.
Details of online submission can be found at:
Important Dates
Deadline for abstracts: 5 February 2010
Notification of Acceptance: 26 February 2010
