Hello everyone,=20
Welcome to the 2nd Geographic Information System (GIS) Symposium at Troy =
University (TU). The success from the 1st Geographic Information System =
(GIS) Symposium held at Troy University (TU) has established a =
foundation forum where the discussion of ideas, concepts, and =
applications is a welcome approach for GIS developments in the =
south-eastern states of a America.
Note that the deadline for abstracts has been extended to 31st January, =
2005
Kindly spread the word around about our 2nd GIS Symposium.
The GIS Symposium's organizing committee would like to invite you to be =
part of our annual event at the Geomatics Program, Troy University, =
Troy, AL. We continue to strive for perfection by way of providing high =
quality workshops, technical sessions, exhibitions, and poster =
presentations. The symposium will be held at the Trojan Center at TU =
and is scheduled for 10th and 11th May, 2005. The theme for our 2nd GIS =
