The Geoinformatics conference series was initiated by the International Association of Chinese Professionals in Geographic Information Sciences (CPGIS) in 1992. This international conference series has provided a unique forum for exchanging novel ideas and cutting edge knowledge on geographic information sciences and technologies among geoinformatics and GIScience professionals worldwide. The 22ndInternational Conference on Geoinformatics (Geoinformatics 2014) will be held on June 25-27, 2014 at the 85 Sky Tower Hotel , Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The conference is organized by CPGIS and the Taiwan Geographic Information Society (TGIS), co-organized by Kaohsiung City Government, advised by the National Science Council, and hosted by the Taiwan Geographic Information System Center (TGIC) and Land Administration Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government. The theme of Geoinformatics 2014 is "CyberGIS and Big Data". This conference will provide an excellent opportunity for pertinent professionals and students to exchange innovative ideas, demonstrate cutting-edge technologies, and present inspiring applications. The conference will include plenaries, featured, oral, and poster sessions.
