Preface
Locate is the annual conference on spatial information in Australia and New Zealand, bringing together for its second year all joint forces of SSSI, SIBA, ANZLIC, OSP, LINZ, CRCSI, PSMA, ASIERA and others. Locate is the meeting point of industry, government and academia in one of the fastest growing areas of IT.
Research@Locate, the academic research stream at Locate, aims to be the premier academic meeting event in the Australasian region. Research@Locate is independently organized by the Australasian Spatial Information Education and Research Association (ASIERA).
Research@Locate provides a transparent full-paper peer review process, with carefully selected presentations and papers, and with its own annual, open-access proceedings.
Research@Locate is organised by the Australasian Spatial Information Education and Research Association (ASIERA, www.asiera.org.au). ASIERA represents a significant part of the academic segment of the spatial information industry in Australia, with several hundred people in fundamental and applied research and innovation, and with a responsibility for educating and training future generations of spatial professionals.
Acknowledgements
Research@Locate would not have happened without the support of the institutions behind Locate, SIBA and SSSI. We also wish to thank our colleagues that served on the International Program Committee, and Kate Rampellini for assisting with the review organisation and the production of the proceedings.
