November 5 and 6, 2020, via Zoom.
The programme for November 5 and 6, 2020 is available here.
Workshop details
Following the recent evolutions of cartography, the 23rd edition of the workshop will highlight propositions of map generalisation and multiple representation methods and applications for interactive multi-scale visualisations of spatial data. Topics of interest include those where thematic or reference cartographic or geographic data (2D or 3D) are generalized, simplified, or aggregated in any way.
This year's workshop is a joint event together with NCG Symposium and Geocongres on the first day (November 5, 2020) of the workshop, and specific workshop sessions on the second day (November 6, 2020).

Call for papers
You are invited to submit a 1,500 word paper, on advances, work in progress, or a position statement, following the general guidelines of the ICA conference abstracts. All submissions will be assessed by the Program Committee on suitability for presentation during the workshop. Accepted papers will be published on the ICA commission website.
If they wish, the authors of accepted papers will be allowed to extend accepted papers to 8 pages, following the ICA Proceedings guidelines (Word) or (LaTeX). Please note that there should be a possibility to extend the papers accepted to the Workshop for a Journal special issue, more details should be announced soon.
The following list of welcome topics is non-exhaustive:
- map feature geometry simplification, aggregation, typification, etc.;
- map generalization for emerging technologies such as augmented or virtual reality;
- abstraction or sense-making of ‘Big Data’;
- semantic generalization;
- continuous generalization;
- multi-scale interactions for visualisation and analysis;
- computational geometric methods;
- map label selection;
- edge bundling;
- evaluation and quality in generalization;
- perception and cognition of multi-scale visualisations.
Submission and review of short papers will be managed through EasyChair (an online conference management system):
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icagen2020.
