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 名美国研究生和本科生参加 2014 年 11 月 4-7 日在美国德克萨斯州达拉斯举行的第 22 届 ACM SIGSPATIAL 2014 会议 (http://sigspatial2014.sigspatial.org ）。 ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 会议起源于 1993 年，现已成为促进空间数据和分析以及地理信息系统 (GIS) 领域研究的世界顶级会议。该会议为涵盖 GIS 各个方面的原创研究贡献提供了一个论坛。美国研究生和本科生的参与促进了年轻人的智力刺激，以在具有重大技术和社会影响的领域开展先进的研究和开发活动。具体的学生活动包括空间数据竞赛“2014 ACM SIGSPATAL Cup”、学生作品的展示和讨论以及指导。此外，学生还可以从参加以地理空间系统和应用领域当前最先进成果为特色的会议中受益匪浅，并有可能为研究合作和研究指导建立联系。历届ACM SIGSPATIAL参与者总数超过300人，其中大部分参与者来自美国，其次是欧洲和亚洲。 ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 中美国学生的强大代表性有助于维持美国在重要研究领域的竞争力，这些领域对于严重依赖于地理参考信息的美国基础设施和应用至关重要。空间和地理信息的应用有助于广泛的社会环境：通过先进的交通应用改善普通公民的生活，通过利用地理空间知识更好地收集情报来提高国家安全，以及开发将产生积极影响的应用程序关于全球环境。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，并将增强美国在这一重要领域的竞争优势的延续。ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2014 会议汇集了对空间信息处理和空间知识提取问题的解决方案的研究、开发和部署感兴趣的研究人员、学生和专业人士，包括从应用程序、用户界面、可视化到存储管理和索引的概念、设计和实现问题 问题。空间数据和应用在多个子领域提出了新的研究挑战，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、人机交互和可视化，以及系统和架构。这些子领域出现了由广泛应用（例如紧急情况和危机管理、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、导航和路线规划）激发的深入研究问题。这次会议正在促进 GIS 各个方面的跨学科讨论和研究。会议旨在不断推进空间数据管理和空间数据分析领域的最新技术并扩大其影响。
