"Extended Abstract Proceedings of the GIScience 2014";
Department für Geodäsie und Geoinformation, Technische Universität Wien, Wien, 2014, ISBN: 978-3-901716-42-3; 500 S.

In 2014, the 8th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience, www.giscience.org) was hosted by the Vienna University of Technology. This volume contains the extended abstracts accepted for oral and poster presentation. The GIScience conference series was created as an exchange platform for researchers interested in advancing fundamental aspects of Geographic Information Science. The first conference was held in Savannah, Georgia, USA, in 2000 and since then it was organized bi-annually. After three successful conferences in the USA, the first conference outside the USA was held in Münster, Germany. Since then, GIScience was organized alternately in the USA and in Europe and after Münster, Germany (2006) and Zürich, Switzerland (2010) the meeting in Vienna is the third meeting in Europe.
84 full papers (up to 15 pages) and 155 extended abstracts (up to 1500 words and 6 pages) were submitted to the conference. Full papers were supposed to describe results of scientific work whereas extended abstract to present work in progress. All full papers went through a thorough review by at least 3 members of the program committee and 23 of them were accepted for oral presentation and published in a Volume of Springer´s Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The extended abstracts were screened by at least two reviewers from the program committee. 52 of them were accepted for short oral presentations and 61 were presented at a poster session. The extended abstracts are published in this book. Since several authors withdrew their extended abstracts after acceptance, only 101 extended abstracts are included in the book.
GIScience brings together experts from academia, industry, and government organizations. The range of topics covered by extended abstracts in this book is impressive: Classical topics like spatial analysis and land cover and land use classification, uncertainty, decision-support, or spatial relations are still represented well but complemented by hot topics, e.g., time and spatio-temporal structures or user-generated content, or big dada.
