Emerging Trends and Innovation in Spatial Big Data,
Social Media Analytics, IoT, and GeoAI
Mini-Track Description:
Location Analytics and GIS provide excellent opportunities at the convergence of existing technologies (e.g. mobile, web) and emerging trends in Big Data, Social Media Analytics, IoT and AI, as well as Blockchain for teaching and research. This mini-track provides a research forum on the varied aspects of GIS for organizational intelligence, location-based analytics, and geospatial data management. “Geospatial Impact” is growing and becoming pervasive through various technologies and trends such as the “massification” of maps, demand for real-time information, and a booming geospatial start-up community.

- New Frontiers in innovation and impact with GIS and spatial analytics,
- Geospatial AI, AR, and VR,
- Innovation in the sharing economy,
- Geospatial big data and analytics,
- Spatial data mining and knowledge discovery,
- Spatial decision making and knowledge management,
- Mobile location-based applications,
