The NSF Cyber-GIS workshop will take place in conjunction with the 2010 UCGIS Winter Meeting at Washington, DC. The workshop will focus on the following themes and topics:

• Complex geospatial systems and simulation of geographic dynamics
• Computational intensity of spatial analysis and modeling
• Data-intensive geospatial computation and visualization
• High-performance, distributed, and/or collaborative GIS
• Geospatial ontology and semantic web
• Geospatial middleware, Clouds, and Grids

The primary goal of the University Consortium of Geographic Information Science is to promote the interdisciplinary use and advancement of GIScience and GIS technologies. The UIUC UCGIS chapter includes representatives from colleges, schools, departments, centers, labs across the University. Interests among faculty and staff involved with Geographic Information Science vary.
