Foreword: This book contains the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Geographical Information Systems Theory, Applications and Management (GISTAM 2017). This conference is sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC) and held in cooperation with the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS), the Canadian Institute of Geomatics (CIG), the ACM Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM SIGSPATIAL), the European Association of Geographers (EUROGEO), the Société Francaise de Photogrammétrie et de Télédétection (SFPT), the Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Association (GSDI), the Associazione Italiana di Geografia fisica e Geomorfologia (AIGeo), the Group on Earth Observations (GEO), The Imaging and Geospatial Information Society (ASPRS), the Società Italiana Di Fotogrammetria e Topografia (SIFET), the Spanish Society of Cartography, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (SECFT), the EuroSDR, the Hexagon Geospatial, the Geospatial Information and Technology Association (GITA) and the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE). The conference is also Technically co-sponsored by IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (IEEE GRSS). The purpose of the International Conference on Geographical Information Systems Theory, Applications and Management is to create a meeting point of researchers and practitioners that address new challenges in geo-spatial data sensing, observation, representation, processing, visualization, sharing and managing, in all aspects concerning both information communication and technologies (ICT) as well as management information systems and knowledge-based systems. GISTAM received 78 paper submissions from 32 countries, 18% were accepted as full papers which shows the intention of preserving a high quality forum for the next editions of this conference. The conference program includes three invited talks delivered by internationally distinguished speakers, namely: Yannis Ioannidis ("Athena" Research & Innovation Center and University of Athens, Greece), Jorge Miguel Alberto de Miranda, (University of Lisbon, Portugal) and George Vosselman (University of Twente, Netherlands). The GISTAM program also includes a Doctoral Consortium on Geographical Information Systems Theory, Applications and Management chaired by Prof. Ana Paula Falcão, a Tutorial on Introduction to Geographic Knowledge Engineering lectured by Prof. Robert Laurini, another tutorial on Introduction to Hexagon Smart M.Apps lectured by João Pedro Fernandes and also an workshop on Geomatic approaches for modelling land change scenarios - GAMOLCS chaired by Prof. María Teresa Camacho Olmedo, Prof. Francisco J. Escobar, Prof. Jean Francois Mas and Prof. Martin Paegelow. (More)
