abstract = "The Brazilian Symposium on GeoInformatics (GEOINFO) is now
consolidated as the most important reference of quality research
in geographic information science and related fields in Brazil. It
brings together researchers, students and practitioners from
several Brazilian states, and also from abroad. GEOINFO 2015 takes
place at the same cosy venue in Campos do Jordao, where
participants have the privilege to be close to each other most of
the time, for constructively discussing ongoing research,
developments, and innovative applications. This environment has
helped to widen and strengthen our community, with new
cooperations, advices, and joy for nurturing ideas and developing
new things, while also having a good time, all together. Past
GEOINFO editions included special keynote presentations by Max
Egenhofer, Gary Hunter, Andrew Frank, Roger Bivand, Mike Worboys,
Werner Kuhn, Stefano Spaccapietra, Ralf Guting, Shashi Shekhar,
Christopher Jones, Martin Kulldorff, Andrea Rodriguez, Max
Craglia, Stephen Winter, Edzer Pebesma, Fosca Giannotti, Christian
Freksa, Thomas Bittner, Markus Schneider, Helen Couclelis,
Randolph W. Franklin, and Paul Brown. In this edition, we have the
pleasure to receive as keynote speakers Dr. Michael Batty, from
the University College London, UK, and Dr. Jan Verbesselt, from
Wageningen University, The Netherlands. This year we have
experienced an expansion in the number of paper submissions.
Authors of papers accepted for GEOINFO 2015 come from a higher
number and a wider variety of institutions than many previous
editions. In our opinion, these facts evidence the vitality and
evolution of our research community. Thus, please, enjoy the
papers of our technical sessions, and help to make them even
better, with your questions and comments. We would like to thank
all the Program Committee (PC) members, whose voluntary work was
essential to ensure the quality of every accepted paper. The help
and advice of previous organizers and of the GEOINFO steering
committee have also been paramount for the success of the current
edition. At least three PC members contributed with their review
to each paper submitted to GEOINFO.",
