Location
The 2012 Symposium, hosted by
University of Naples Federico II,
is intended to provide an up-to-date review of advances in recent
development of Web and Wireless Geographical Information Systems
(W2GIS).
W2GIS is a series of successful events alternating locations between
EaSt Asia and Europe, with the most recent event held in Kyoto, Japan.
The 11th Symposium is returning to Europe, and in particular to the city of
Naples (Italy).
Naples is located in the
Southern part of Italy and is one of the most ancient cities in Europe
whose contemporary urban fabric still preserves the elements of its long and eventful history.
Its street pattern, its wealth of historic buildings from many periods, and its setting on the Bay of Naples
give it an outstanding universal value without parallel, and one that has had a profound influence in
many parts of Europe and beyond.
In 1995, the city Naples became part of the
Unesco World Heritage.

This year the city of Naples will host the America's Cup World Competition.
The event will be held from the 7th to the 15th of April 2012.
The race course will be just off the town, easily visible and very close to the conference location.
