The COSIT'09 conference committee invites proposals for two specialized workshops. These workshops are intended to provide an opportunity to meet and discuss selected topics on emerging issues related to spatial information theory. The goal of these workshops is to provide an informal forum to discuss important research issues and challenges. We aim to build a program that complements the main COSIT'09 conference. These Workshops will be scheduled the day before the COSIT'09 conference on the 21st of September 2009. There will be around six hours of workshop meeting per day, split into morning and afternoon sessions, with free time between the sessions for ongoing individual exchange. For simplicity, workshops will be held on-site at the main conference site at the Aber Wrac'h. Attendees at workshops must also register for the COSIT'09 conference. For examples of workshops held at previous COSIT conferences, see the archive of previous meetings (http://www.cosit.info/).

Established in 1993, COSIT (COnference on Spatial Information Theory) aims to bring together researchers from different disciplines for an intensive scientific exchange. The conference is designed as a single track meeting that focuses on the most innovative and significant recent contributions in the domain of spatial information theory. COSIT is widely aknowledged as one of the most important scientific event in that field. COSIT is not backed by any particular scientific society but is organized as an independent enterprise. COSIT typically has had about 100-130 participants, 1/3 university professors, 1/3 researchers from universities and industry, and 1/3 advanced students (including Ph.D. candidates). COSIT'09, will be held in Aber Wrac'h at the Centre de la Mer in North West France, 21-25 September 2009.
