There are two presentation formats: an oral paper or a poster.
A collection of refereed conference papers will be published in a Springer book. These full papers are due October 26, 2016.
Long abstracts will be refereed to decide acceptance of presentations. Authors who submit a long abstract have the option to submit a paper for the online conference proceedings. These papers, which will not be refereed, are due later.
After the conference, selected papers will also be invited for submission to the official ICA journals: The International Journal of Cartography, Cartography and Geographic Information Science, Cartographica, and The Cartographic Journal.
