COMP 2013: ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Computational Models of Place 2013

The workshop on computational models of place was held the first time in the context of the ACM SIGSPATIAL conference series in 2013. A workshop with a similar focus (PLACE'08) was held before at GIScience 2008 in Park City. Recently it has become apparent that a workshop specifically dedicated to computational approaches to place is required in order to make progress on dealing with places in information technology.
