The deadline for workshop and tutorial proposal submissions is January 13th, 2016, with accepted workshops and tutorials taking place on September 27th, 2016. Submission for Workshops and Tutorials All workshops and tutorial proposals should be submitted via e-mail to the Workshops and Tutorials Co-Chairs ( <mailto:steven.farber@utoronto.ca> steven.farber(a)utoronto.ca, <mailto:michael.widener@utoronto.ca> michael.widener(a)utoronto.ca).

For more details on proposal format, please visit the <http://giscience.geog.mcgill.ca/?page_id=33> submissions page on the official GIScience 2016 website, or see below. Workshops Workshops should provide a platform for presenting and discussing ideas in a less-formal and more open way than is possible at the main conference. Thus, they should provide an excellent opportunity for researchers to present work in progress and obtain detailed feedback and should have ample time allocated for discussion and participation by all attendees. Workshops are welcome on all topics of interest to GIScience attendees, especially on new and emerging areas of research. Workshop proposals should be less than 1,500 words, and must include: * Title of the workshop * Description of topics * Scope and novelty of the workshop * Workshop organizer(s) and their qualifications * Format of workshop (i.e., one-half day or one day) * Intended Program Committee (if relevant) * Highlights (e.g., keynotes, panels, and other modes of discussion) * Expected number of participants * Details of any previous related workshops * Draft call for papers indicating the relevant topics Tutorials A tutorial should cover a single topic in detail, lasting either a full (i.e., two sessions of three hours) or half (i.e., one session of three hours) day. A tutorial may cover a particular GIScience topic in depth, or introduce emerging research areas. Tutorial proposals should be less than 2,000 words, and must include: * Title of the tutorial * Description of topics and relevance to GIScience community * Tutorial organizer(s) and their qualifications * Format of tutorial (i.e., one-half day or one day) * Tutorial outline, indicating overall learning objectives and individual course elements * Intended audience (e.g., introductory, advanced) and any background knowledge/skills required * Required materials (e.g., will you need Internet access, lab access, or specific software installed?) * Expected number of participants Evaluation Criteria for Workshops and Tutorials Submissions will be evaluated based on: * Is the workshop/tutorial appropriate for GIScience? * Is the topic of the workshop/tutorial particularly timely or important? * Is the workshop/tutorial likely to attract sufficient participants? * Is the workshop/tutorial well designed and likely to achieve the stated goal(s)? * Are the organizers appropriate for the proposed topic? * Has a very similar workshop/tutorial been held in the recent past? Important Note Workshops or tutorials that receive too few registrations by July 30, 2016 may be canceled by the local organizers.

by Bricka, Stacey

Apologies for cross postings - please contact Jean Daniel Saphores with any questions (saphores(a)uci.edu<mailto:saphores@uci.edu>) Happy Friday! Stacey Stacey G. Bricka, Ph.D. Texas A&M Transportation Institute 512.407.1123 From: National Household Travel Survey User Community LISTSERV [mailto:NHTS-USER@LISTSERV.TAMU.EDU] On Behalf Of Krishnan Viswanathan Sent: Friday, August 14, 2015 8:30 AM To: NHTS-USER(a)LISTSERV.TAMU.EDU Subject: [NHTS-USER] 2016 TRB NHTS Task Force: Call for posters on innovative uses of the NHTS Apologies for the cross-posting. Attached please find an announcement for call for posters for the 2016 TRB. The Task Force on "Understanding New Directions for the National Household Travel Survey" (ABJ45T) is calling for posters showcasing innovative uses of the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) for presentation at the Transportation Research Board's 95th Annual Meeting on January 10-14, 2016, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, in Washington, D.C. We are particularly (but not uniquely) interested in research, case studies and analyses that use the NHTS (possibly in combination with other large datasets): * to understand travel of disadvantaged groups; or * to analyze transit or active transportation modes; or * to analyze salient environmental or energy issues; or * to characterize rural trips; or * to better understand traffic safety; or * to analyze public health topics related to transportation; or * for disaster management; or more generally * to answer questions of interest to MPOs, DOTs, and other agencies. The objective of this poster session is to bring together planners, analysts, policy makers, and potential users of NHTS data to share / learn about innovative applications of the NHTS. For guidelines on how to present a poster effectively, see http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/tcrp/tcrp78/prestips.htm. Please email a poster outline consisting of a 200 to 300 words abstract with a title and authors' contact information to abj45tPostersTRB2016(a)gmail.com<mailto:abj45tPostersTRB2016@gmail.com> by Friday, September 4, 2015. Authors will be notified of acceptance by Friday, September 18, 2015 and will be asked to confirm their participation by Friday, September 25, 2015; at least one author of each selected poster will need to attend the poster session in person. Sales presentations on products or services will not be considered. This call is outside the usual TRB website and paper review system. Proposals do not need to be submitted using the on-line system and no paper is required to participate in this poster session. For questions, email saphores(a)uci.edu<mailto:saphores@uci.edu>.
