Call for Research Papers
Our society is witnessing a dramatic increase in geospatial data infrastructures, data products, and services, many of them playing a key role in decision making in organizations. There are currently major national and international efforts in the coordinated development, use, sharing, and dissemination of geospatial data in several application contexts including homeland security, environmental crises, and natural and industrial disasters. Geospatial infrastructures are being leveraged by companies to provide a large variety of location-based services (LBS) able to tailor services to users. However, despite the increase of publicly accessible geospatial information only little attention is being paid on how to secure geospatial information systems (GIS) and LBS. Privacy is also of increasing concern given the sensitivity of personally-identifiable location information. This is despite major advancements that have been made in secure computing infrastructures and the secure and privacy-preserving management of traditional (relational) data in particular. Given these pressing needs for securing GIS and LBS as well as assuring privacy, it is compelling to investigate security and privacy aspects as they relate to the management of geospatial data and the development of both emerging LBS and mission-critical geographic applications.
SPRINGL 2010 is the third workshop in the SPRINGL workshop series that aims at bringing together researchers working on the foundations of the field and on novel applications bridging spatio-temporal data management and security and privacy.

Submission Instructions
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Submitted papers can be of two types:
- Regular Research Papers: these papers should report original research results or significant case studies. They should be at most 8 pages.
- Position Papers: these papers should report novel research directions or identify challenging problems. They should be at most 5 pages.
Manuscripts (regular paper and position paper) should be submitted in PDF format and formatted using the ACM camera-ready templates available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.
The type of the paper (i.e, regular or position paper) must be specified. Papers must be electronically submitted at the following address: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=springl2010.
Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. A special issue including the best regular papers will be organized for publication in the Transactions on Data Privacy (http://www.tdp.cat/).
