We would like to bring the upcoming 16th ACM SIGSPATIAL
International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information
Systems (ACM GIS 2008). It will be held in Irvine, CA, in
November 5-7, 2008.  This year's Conference builds on the great
success of last year's Symposium where more than 180 people
attended, and on being the premier annual conference of the newly
established ACM Special Interest Group on Spatial Information
(ACM SIGSPATIAL http://www.sigspatial.org/).  The invited
speakers include Jack Dangermond, Founder and President of ESRI,
and Vinton Cerf, VP of Google and 2004 ACM Turing Award Winner.
This year we will also have for the first time a Ph.D. showcase track
and a demo track. The information can be found at
http://acmgis08.cs.umn.edu/ and the program is there as well. The
program is also repeated below. There is also a pre conference
workshop on November 4, 2008 called SPRINGL2008 on Security
and Privacy in GIS and LBS. We hope that you are able to come
and look forward to seeing you there.

The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic
Information Systems 2008 (ACM GIS 2008) is the sixteenth event of a
series of symposia and workshops that began in 1993 with the aim of
bringing together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners
carrying out research and development in novel systems based on
geo-spatial data and knowledge, and fostering interdisciplinary
discussions and research in all aspects of geographicinformation
systems. The conference provides a forum for original research
contributions covering all conceptual, design, and implementation
aspects of GIS ranging from applications, user interface=20
considerations,
and visualization down to storage management and indexing issues.
This year's conference builds on last year's conference great success
and on being the premier annual conference of the newly formed ACM
Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM SIGSPATIAL). ACM
GIS will have two invited speakers, 38 full papers, 37 poster papers,
8 Ph.D. showcases, and 12 demos. (see below)

       Understanding the Privacy- Efficiency Trade-off in Location-
Based
             Queries
                 Gabriel Ghinita (Purdue University, USA)
                 Abstract: Mobile devices with global positioning
capabilities
                         (e.g., GPS) allow users to ask queries=20
relative to
their
                         present location. Since certain queries may=20
be
                         privacy-sensitive, it is important to=20
protect the
identity
                         of the users who send requests for Location-
based
Services
                         (LBS). Instead of reporting the exact user
location to the
                         LBS provider, existing privacy-preserving
techniques either
                         perturb or encrypt the location data.
                         Current LBS privacy solutions fall into=20
several
categories,
                         based on the type of location transformation=20

this
position
                         paper, we introduce a taxonomy of LBS privacy
solutions, and
                         discuss the privacy-efficiency trade-offs=20
achieved
by
                         various techniques. We also identify several=20

            <p>We would like to bring the upcoming 16th ACM SIGSPATIAL<br>
International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information<br>
Systems (ACM GIS 2008). It will be held in Irvine, CA, in<br>
November 5-7, 2008.  This year's Conference builds on the great<br>
success of last year's Symposium where more than 180 people<br>
attended, and on being the premier annual conference of the newly<br>
established ACM Special Interest Group on Spatial Information<br>
(ACM SIGSPATIAL <a href="http://www.sigspatial.org/">http://www.sigspati<wbr>al.org/</a>).  The invited<br>
speakers include Jack Dangermond, Founder and President of ESRI,<br>
and Vinton Cerf, VP of Google and 2004 ACM Turing Award Winner.<br>
This year we will also have for the first time a Ph.D. showcase track<br>
and a demo track. The information can be found at<br>
<a href="http://acmgis08.cs.umn.edu/">http://acmgis08.<wbr>cs.umn.edu/</a> and the program is there as well. The<br>
program is also repeated below. There is also a pre conference<br>
workshop on November 4, 2008 called SPRINGL2008 on Security<br>
and Privacy in GIS and LBS. We hope that you are able to come<br>
and look forward to seeing you there.<br>

The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic<br>
Information Systems 2008 (ACM GIS 2008) is the sixteenth event of a<br>
series of symposia and workshops that began in 1993 with the aim of<br>
bringing together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners<br>
carrying out research and development in novel systems based on<br>
geo-spatial data and knowledge, and fostering interdisciplinary<br>
discussions and research in all aspects of geographicinformati<wbr>on<br>
systems. The conference provides a forum for original research<br>
contributions covering all conceptual, design, and implementation<br>
aspects of GIS ranging from applications, user interface <br>
considerations,<br>
and visualization down to storage management and indexing issues.<br>
This year's conference builds on last year's conference great success<br>
and on being the premier annual conference of the newly formed ACM<br>
Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM SIGSPATIAL). ACM<br>
GIS will have two invited speakers, 38 full papers, 37 poster papers,<br>
8 Ph.D. showcases, and 12 demos. (see below)<br>

       Understanding the Privacy- Efficiency Trade-off in Location-<br>
Based<br>
             Queries<br>
                 Gabriel Ghinita (Purdue University, USA)<br>
                 Abstract: Mobile devices with global positioning<br>
capabilities<br>
                         (e.g., GPS) allow users to ask queries <br>
relative to<br>
their<br>
                         present location. Since certain queries may <br>
be<br>
                         privacy-sensitive, it is important to <br>
protect the<br>
identity<br>
                         of the users who send requests for Location-<br>
based<br>
Services<br>
                         (LBS). Instead of reporting the exact user<br>
location to the<br>
                         LBS provider, existing privacy-preserving<br>
techniques either<br>
                         perturb or encrypt the location data.<br>
                         Current LBS privacy solutions fall into <br>
several<br>
categories,<br>
                         based on the type of location transformation <br>
they<br>
employ,<br>
                         and the system architecture they rely on. In <br>
this<br>
position<br>
                         paper, we introduce a taxonomy of LBS privacy<br>
solutions, and<br>
                         discuss the privacy-efficiency trade-offs <br>
achieved<br>
by<br>
                         various techniques. We also identify several <br>
open<br>
problems,<br>
                         and propose some interesting directions for <br>
future<br>
research.<br>
