This grant supports travel awards for 25-30 U.S.-based graduate and undergraduate students to participate in the 22th ACM SIGSPATIAL 2014 Conference, held in Dallas, Texas, USA, November 4-7, 2014 (http://sigspatial2014.sigspatial.org). The ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS conference was originated in 1993 and has established itself as the world's premier conference to foster research in the areas of Spatial Data and Analysis and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The conference provides a forum for original research contributions covering all aspects of GIS. The participation of US graduate and undergraduate students fosters intellectual stimulation of young minds to pursue advanced research and development activities in an area with significant technical and societal impact. Specific student activities include spatial data competition "2014 ACM SIGSPATAL Cup", presentation and discussion of students' work and mentoring. In addition, the students greatly benefit from attending conference sessions featuring current state-of-the-art results in the area of geospatial systems and applications, and potentially making connections for research collaborations and research mentoring. The total number of ACM SIGSPATIAL participants in the past has been in excess of 300 participants, with a majority of the participants from the U.S., followed by Europe and Asia. A strong representation of U.S.-based students at ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS is useful in maintaining U.S. competitiveness in the important research areas crucial for U.S. infrastructures and applications that critically depend on geo-referenced information. Applications of spatial and geographical information contribute to a wide-array of societal contexts: improving the lives of ordinary citizens through advanced transportation applications, increasing the security of the nation through better intelligence gathering using geospatial knowledge, and developing applications that will have a positive impact on the global environment. Educating and training the next generation of scientists, engineers, and practitioners in the area of spatial and geographical information systems will have a significant impact and will enhance the continuation of the competitive edge of the United States in this important area.ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2014 Conference brings together researchers, students, and professionals interested in research, development, and deployment of solutions to spatial information handling and spatial knowledge extraction problems, including conceptual, design, and implementation issues ranging from applications, user interfaces, and visualization to storage management and indexing issues. Spatial data and applications pose novel research challenges in a wide variety of sub-areas, which include (but are not limited to), spatial information acquisition, modeling, data structures and algorithms, analysis, querying and integration, human-computer interaction and visualization, and systems and architectures. From these sub-areas deep research questions emerge that are motivated by a broad range of applications (e.g., emergency and crisis management, environmental monitoring, global positioning and location detection, geosciences, location-based and mobile services, navigation and route planning). The meeting is fostering interdisciplinary discussions and research in all aspects of GIS. The conference seeks to continuously advance the state of-the-art in spatial data management and spatial data analysis and broaden its impact.

该赠款支持25-30位美国毕业生和本科生的旅行奖，以参加2014年11月4日至7日在美国德克萨斯州达拉斯举行的第22届ACM Sigspatial 2014会议（http://sigspatial20144.sigspatial.org.org.org.org.org.org.org.org.org ）。 ACM Sig -Spatial GIS会议起源于1993年，已成为全球首要会议，旨在促进空间数据和分析和地理信息系统（GIS）领域的研究。会议为涵盖GIS各个方面的原始研究贡献提供了一个论坛。美国毕业生和本科生的参与促进了对年轻人的智力刺激，从而在具有重大技术和社会影响的领域从事高级研发活动。特定的学生活动包括空间数据竞赛“ 2014 ACM Sigspatal Cup”，对学生的工作和指导的演示和讨论。此外，参加的会议大大受益于地理空间系统和应用领域的最新会议，并有可能建立有关研究合作和研究指导的联系。过去，ACM Sig -Spatial参与者的总数超过300名参与者，其中大多数来自美国的参与者，其次是欧洲和亚洲。在ACM Sigspatial GIS中，美国学生的强烈代表对于维持美国在重要的研究领域的竞争力很有用，这对于美国基础设施和应用程序至关重要，这些研究和应用非常依赖于地理参考信息。空间和地理信息的应用有助于社会环境的广泛阵列：通过先进的运输应用程序改善普通公民的生活，通过使用地理空间知识更好的情报收集来提高国家的安全，并发展将产生积极影响的应用程序在全球环境上。教育和培训空间和地理信息系统领域的下一代科学家，工程师和从业人员将产生重大影响，并将增强美国竞争优势在这一重要领域的延续。ACMSigspatial GIS 2014会议将研究，学生和专业人员汇集到对研究，开发和部署解决方案的感兴趣的空间信息处理和空间知识提取问题，包括概念，设计和实施问题，包括应用程序，用户界面以及可视化以及存储管理以及索引问题。空间数据和应用在各种各样的次级区域中提出了新的研究挑战，其中包括（但不限于），空间信息获取，建模，数据结构和算法，分析，查询和集成，人类计算机的互动和可视化，系统和体系结构。从这些次级研究中，出现了由广泛的应用程序（例如紧急和危机管理，环境监测，全球定位和位置检测，地球科学，基于位置和移动服务，导航和路线计划）引起的。会议正在促进GIS各个方面的跨学科讨论和研究。会议试图在空间数据管理和空间数据分析中不断提高现状，并扩大其影响。
