Established in 1993, COSIT aims to bring together researchers from different disciplines for an intensive scientific exchange. The conference is designed as a single track meeting that focuses on the most innovative and significant recent contributions in the domain of spatial information theory. COSIT is widely acknowledged as one of the most important scientific events in spatial information theory. COSIT is not backed by any particular scientific society but is organized as an independent enterprise. COSIT typically has had about 100-130 participants, 1/3 university professors, 1/3 researchers from universities and industry, and 1/3 advanced students (including Ph.D. candidates). COSIT 2015, will be held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA at the Historic La Fonda on the Plaza October 12-16, 2015.
