<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">The ability to process spatial information is crucial for various tasks as diverse as navigation, planning, and managing abstract concepts. Research issues in spatial cognition range from the investigation of human
spatial cognition to mobile robot navigation. Much of that research effort, however, has been experimental, putting little stress on precise models of the involved representations and processes. Obviously, spatial cognition is closely related to visual cognition
of places and scenes in general. Different visualization techniques and reasoning formalisms serve to analyze spatial cognition processes. They can be used to achieve a more general cognitive model.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Cognitive Psychology, Cognitive Robotics, Geographic Information Science, and related areas to foster a multi-disciplinary
exchange between research in visual and spatial cognition. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">The workshop will be held in English, in order to attract an international audience. Each presenter is required to submit a short paper (4-8 pages) on the presented topic formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines
(<</span><a href="ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/llncs2e.zip"><span lang="EN-US">ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/llncs2e.zip</span></a><span lang="EN-US">>). The agenda will leave enough room for discussions. So each talk
will be followed by a discussion period of 10 minutes. Papers are subject to regular peer review and subsequent publication within the workshop proceedings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
