These proceedings contain the papers selected for publication and presentation at the 17th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems (ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS) in Seattle, Washington, USA, from November 4th to 6th, 2009.ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2009 brings together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners carrying out research and development in novel systems based on geo-spatial data and knowledge. The conference fosters interdisciplinary discussions and research in all aspects of Geographic Information Systems and Science (GIS) and provides a forum for original research contributions covering all conceptual, design, and implementation aspects of GIS and ranging from applications, user interface considerations, and visualization down to storage management and indexing issues. This is the second time that the conference is being held under the auspices of the ACM Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (SIGSPATIAL). This year, we had four conference tracks, namely, regular research papers, industry papers, demonstration track, and a Ph.D. showcase track.

Manipulation of spatial weights using web services
In this paper we explore the use of state-of-the-art web technologies to facilitate access to advanced spatial analytical software tools. The specific focus is on the development of web services to disseminate advanced algorithms for spatial weights ...
Annotating geospatial data based on its semantics
Geospatial information (GI) constitutes a significant portion of available data and are a key factor in planning and decision-making in a variety of domains, such as emergency management and agriculture. However, to be used, these data have to be ...
An agenda for the next generation gazetteer: geographic information contribution and retrieval
Gazetteers are key components of georeferenced information systems, including applications such as Web-based mapping services. Existing gazetteers lack the capabilities to fully integrate user-contributed and vernacular geographic information, as well ...
Focus+Glue+Context: an improved fisheye approach for web map services
This paper proposes a method for generating a Focus+Glue+Context map for Web map services by improving existing fisheye views methods for cartographic data. While many studies have focused on fisheye views, the problems of the excessively large ...
