Papers are invited on all aspects of research within the broad field of geo-spatial computation. This GeoComputation
Conference series brings together numerous scientists from different areas of research, who are interested in using
the latest computational tools and techniques, or who have implemented similar computation-based approaches
under alternative scenarios. GeoComputation is focussed on the research, development and application of spatial
information technologies to address social, economic and environmental problems at human and geographical
scales. 
 
The 6th International Conference on GeoComputation will be hosted by the University of Queensland.  We solicit
papers that address novel, challenging and innovative results on the on the interface between geography and
computing. The key themes for the conference include, but are not limited to: 
    Space-Time Dynamics 
    High Performance Computing in Geography 
    Interoperability and GeoComputation 
    Intelligent Agents, Neural Networks and Fuzzy Computing 
    Spatial Theory and Logics 
    Diagnostics and Pattern Detection 
    Real and Virtual Environments 
    Applications of GeoComputation 
 
GeoComputation 2001 will include keynote lectures, paper, and poster presentations. The proceedings will be
published on CD-ROM. Arrangements will be made to publish quality papers in academic journals.
