Foreword
These proceedings contain the papers selected for presentation at the 5th ACM
SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Mobile Geographic Information Systems
(MobiGIS 2016) which is held in conjunction with the 24th ACM SIGSPATIAL
International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems (ACM
SIGSPATIAL 2016) on October 31, 2016 in San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA.
Combining the functionality of mobile devices (smartphones and tablets), wireless
communication (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3/4G), and positioning technologies (GPS, Assisted
GPS and GLONASS) results in a new era of mobile geographic information systems
(MobiGIS) that aim at providing various invaluable services, including location-based
services, intelligent transportation systems, logistics management, security and safety, etc.
Many MobiGIS have been developed to solve challenging real-world problems and
improve our quality of life.
MobiGIS 2016 aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from the GIS
community, the mobile computing community, and the data management community.
Many current research areas, such as spatio-temporal databases and data mining, mobile
cloud computing, remote sensing, participatory sensing, or social networks, raise research
problems that lie at the boundary between these three communities. MobiGIS's goal is to
foster an opportunity for researchers from these three communities to gather and discuss
ideas that will shape and influence these emerging GIS-related research areas.
MobiGIS 2016 is a one-day workshop in which 1 keynote talk and 11 research paper
presentations are organized into four sessions: (1) Trajectory computing, (2) Location-
based query processing, (3) Mobile data analytics, and (4) Urban computing, mapping, and
positioning. Prof. Maria Luisa Damiani (University of Milan, Italy) was invited to give a
keynote with a title “Spatial Trajectories Segmentation: Trends and Challenges”.
We would like to thank the keynote speaker Prof. Damiani, the authors for publishing and
presenting their papers in MobiGIS 2016, and the program committee and external
reviewers for their professional evaluation and help in the paper review process. We hope
that these proceedings will inspire new research ideas, and that you will enjoy reading
them.
