The first AGILE conference on GI-Science took place in 1998, in Enschede, The Netherlands. Since then AGILE Members have met and exchanged ideas and experiences on a European level at the yearly AGILE conference. The conferences are used to initiate and stimulate AGILE Initiatives on specific subjects of special interest within the GI community. In the last few years, AGILE conferences have had two outputs: Full refereed papers that are accepted go to the Springer Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography. This is indexed in ISI Web of Science. Short papers (oral presented or in poster form) are also peer-reviewed and published in electronic proceedings (CD + website, with ISBN).
On these pages all upcoming and past AGILE Conferences are listed, including conference descriptions and full papers (where available).
