The 6^th International Workshop on Information Fusion and Geographic Information Systems (IF&GIS' 2013) is a serial event in the development of theories, models and advanced applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It follows a series of successful workshops held in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009 in St. Petersburg and 2011 in Brest, France. It has been continuously organised by the OOGIS research laboratory of the St Petersburg Institute for Informatics and Automation and the French Naval Academy Research Institute. The 6^th IF&GIS workshop will bring academic and industrial experts from a large set of fields oriented to information fusion and GIS with a special emphasis towards environmental and urban challenges. The scope of the 6^th IF&GIS workshop will address several GIS and environmental research issues from the modelling, analysis, information processing and visualization. The 6^th event will move again to St. Petersburg with a specific focus on environmental issues, from global to local scales. The IF&GIS workshop will encourage multi-disciplinary approaches as far as they provide specific research results. Contributions are expected from academics and Ph.D. students from a wide range of disciplines. The specific scientific domains covered include but are not limited to as far as they address GIS fundamentals (to the left) and their application to urban and environmental challenges (to the right):

The forthcoming international IF&GIS Workshop encourage presentation of scientific and technological innovations as well application opportunities such as to make environmental and global warming problems under control, as well as the monitoring, planning and simulation of urban systems. All papers accepted for the Workshop will be published in the series Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Geoinformation & Cartography (LNG&C) series after the workshop. Preliminary proceedings will be available in CD-version at the time of the workshop.
