About
The 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Geospatial Anomaly Detection (GeoAnomalies’24) aims to bring together researchers and industry experts to discuss the latest advancements, challenges, and applications in the field of anomaly detection within spatial, geospatial, and spatiotemporal data. The workshop will foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among participants from a wide spectrum of research areas, including machine learning, time series analysis, statistics, remote sensing, geospatial analysis, and trajectory analysis, and therefore will provide a platform for a rich and diverse exchange of ideas.

Call For Papers (PDF version)
The workshop seeks high-quality full (8-10 pages) and short (4 pages) papers that have not been published in other academic outlets and are not concurrently under peer review. Once accepted, at least one author is required to register for the workshop and the ACM SIGSPATIAL conference, as well as attend the workshop to present the accepted work which will then appear in the ACM Digital Library. As GeoAnomalies papers appear in the ACM SIGSPATIAL proceedings we follow the same submission process. Submission details can be found at https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=geoanomalies24. Following the main-conference, we also allow full papers to have a two-page appendix beyond the ten pages limit.
Example topics include, but not limited to:
| Theoretical Foundations of Geospatial Anomaly Detection | Machine Learning for Geospatial Anomaly Detection |
| Statistical Models for Geospatial Anomaly Detection | Complex Network Analysis |
| Spatio-Temporal Modeling | Case Studies and Real-world Applications for Anomaly Detection on Spatial Data |
| Benchmarking and Evaluation |
Paper Format
Accepted GeoAnomalies'24 papers will appear in the ACM SIGSPATIAL'24 Proceedings. Therefore, we follow the same formatting requirements as ACM SIGSPATIAL'24 which can be found at:
https://sigspatial2024.sigspatial.org/cfp/
Manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format and formatted using the ACM camera-ready templates available at:
http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template
SIGSPATIAL uses the Conference Proceedings Primary Article template with two-column format. Alterations to the template, especially to gain more space, will be grounds for administrative rejection without further technical review. Submissions to ACM SIGSPATIAL are single-blind -- i.e., the names and affiliations of the authors should be listed in the submitted version. The author list is considered to be final after the submission deadline and no changes to the author list are allowed for accepted papers.
